Nevada's economy, jobs market, and business climate; from statewide unemployment and corporate law to energy, data centers, and the industries driving growth outside the Strip.
A Ninth Circuit ruling last week affirmed Nevada’s exclusive right to police that business against Kalshi’s prediction markets, even as the state’s top gaming regulator and the company’s own data cannot agree on how many billions of dollars in trades young adults already control.
Nevada broke its Labor Day gas price record this week, but the state’s two largest cities did not break it by the same amount, a gap that traces back to which pipeline fills each city’s pumps.
Three government reports on the exact same month of Nevada jobs data reached three different unemployment figures, a gap that has more to do with which of two standard adjustment methods each report used than with any real change in the job market.
NV Energy filed two rate change requests with state regulators on the same Wednesday, one for each half of Nevada it serves, and both came wrapped in the same message about savings. Nobody had added the two filings together to see what a real bill in each region actually does.
Professional and business services grew 5.9 percent over the past year, nearly five times faster than leisure and hospitality’s 1.2 percent, the industry most people still associate with the state.
Statewide growth of 78.9% since 2016 looks like a diversification success story. The map behind it tells a narrower one.
