Nevada Is Number 1 In Job Loss

From Reuters: "Nevada ranked at the bottom of the list, having lost 113,000 jobs in the last five years, followed by California and Florida, it said.
That marked a dramatic change in fortunes for Nevada and Florida, which finished first and second in jobs in a similar 2005 study, it said.
The change illustrates how little can be divined from such data, Thomas said.
"Five years ago, we said Nevada was No. 1, and now it's dead last," he said. "It does make you leery of economic forecasts."
Together, Nevada, California and Florida have lost 1.69 million jobs since 2005, the study said." http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2622998620100726

But yet we have politicians such as Harry Reid, Dina Titus and Shelly Berkley who think nothing of cutting jobs of Nevadans. Closing automobile dealerships, closing Yucca, shutting down power plants before they start and much more. You have Obama opening his big mouth two times complaining about Las Vegas and that cuts out more jobs. Then you add on the new taxes and regulations the these three propose and have passed and you can see why private employers don't want to hire right now.
Is it all the Democrats fault? Of course not, but in a time when we desperately need jobs in Nevada, they seem not care about jobs for the people of Nevada, they just want to pass their legislation or using their influence aimed at killing jobs for us.

  1. Once a state where people used to work 24/7, today thousands of people are jobless.
