Nevada has been the country's big winner when it comes to growing jobs, according to research from RealPage and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In fact, Nevada grew its total employment base at the highest rate in the country in 2023, experiencing 3.8% growth with a net addition of 57,700 jobs, according to data from the BLS.
Nearly three-fourths (73%) of the state's total employment is in the Las Vegas metro area, with Vegas accounting for 80% of the state's job growth in 2023, RealPage's Charlotte Wheeler writes in a recent blog.
The Leisure/Hospitality Services sector (+16,000 jobs or 4.5% growth or one in four jobs) is the top performer followed by Professional/Business Services (+14,500 jobs or 6.7% growth) with the bulk of those additions in Las Vegas. Texas created the most jobs last year (369,600) followed by California (+311,600) and Florida (+240,600).
