If there’s anything the election taught us, or maybe reminded us, rather, it’s that the economy is the most important issue for voters.
In a national survey by the public opinion research company, Gallup, in October of 2024, it found that amidst 22 other issues, 90% of respondents said a presidential candidate’s position on the economy was a “very important” influence on their vote.
Just last week, UNLV’s Center for Business and Economic Research held its annual Outlook Event at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas to highlight interesting economic data and trends in Southern Nevada, as well as the nation.
Where is Southern Nevada’s economy right now? Is it feeling the pain of inflation? What about jobs, housing, and its effort towards economic diversification? Where will Nevada’s economy be four years from now?
