I was just reading some articles online when I ran across a ranking in CNNMoney.com entitled, “Where the jobs are”. This ranking measured job growth rate from 200 to 2008 and Clark County, Nevada came in at number 25 on the list. This is not surprising when you consider all of the hotels, restaurants, clubs and casinos in Clark County. There is usually always work to be found in construction too. As a matter of fact, the new CitiCenter is currently under construction and it is expected to create some 10,000-12,000 jobs once it opens its doors.
Ranking among the top 25 cities in the US for Job Growth is very positive news, especially in light of the housing problems affecting the national economy. Clark County’s real estate market has been especially hard hit, which makes having ranked in the top 25 cities in the nation for job growth that much more important. So even though Clark County is one of the top cities in the US in terms of foreclosures and depreciating home prices, it is also among the top cities for job growth; which should definitely help our ailing housing market to get back on its feet. Regardless of whether folks who come to Clark County decide to rent a home or buy a home, the more people who come to Clark County for work, the more our housing market will benefit as a result.
