The Atom Bomb begins testing at the new Las Vegas Test Site
Growth in population comes hand-in-hand with great job potential and Las Vegas continues to boom with strong economic and
employment opportunities. Since 1990, Las Vegas has also ranked number one in high-tech job growth (primarily high-tech
services). Consequently, the Nevada labor force has increased by nearly 350,000 people in the last decade.
Construction, distribution and trade, Financial Institutions, Gaming, Government, Manufacturing and High Technology, & Travel and
Tourism are among the industries with the greatest job potential in Las Vegas. With 39.1 million visitors and 6.2 million convention
delegates visiting Las Vegas in 2007, tourism and conventions continue to be the city's major industries.
In February 2007, Inc. named Las Vegas "Hottest City in America," among large cities, and in 2006 Forbes magazine named Las
Vegas as one of the top three best cities to find a job. As Las Vegas continues to grow, the economic future through the next
decade will continue to be strong.
