Were the Boom Years Worth It?

The recession has been particularly hard on Las Vegas and on Nevada. Were the boom years worth the pain? Applied Analysis' Jeremey Aguero says yes, definitely.

 

And he says, had we focussed more on economic diversification during the 1990's and early 2000's, we would have missed out on the full benefit of those boom years.

 

Aguero joins us to explain why the upsides of more than a decade of growth, was worth the pain of the bust years we're living through today.
