Specifi cally, construction sector jobs decreased by 200. This month, we analyze county employment for nine of Nevada s major sectors¹ using Economic Modeling Specialists Intl.² data. Tourism, gaming, and entertainment is the largest sector in eight of the17 counties. Nevada s largest population center, Clark, has the most substantial concentration of jobs in this sector, employing 330,000, at 38.2 percent of total county jobs. The only metropolitan area not to have tourism, gaming, and entertainment as its largest sector is Carson City. Alternatively, the health and medical services sector has the highest percentage of employment in the Silver State s capital, at 13.4 percent, or 3,700 jobs. Six of Nevada s rural counties have mining as their largest sector. Eureka s mining industry, in particular, has the highest percentage of total sector employment (per county) in the State, at 88.4 percent, accounting for 4,000 jobs. Lyon, Storey, and Carson ¹ The nine major sectors, as defined by the Governor s Workforce Investment Board, are: aerospace and defense, agriculture, information technology, clean energy, health care, logistics and operations, manufacturing, mining, and tourism, gaming, and entertainment. ² Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. (EMSI) turns labor market data into useful information that helps organizations understand the connection between economies, people, and work. Information from EMSI is based off of QCEW data, which is collected from unemployment insurance records. As such, employment is derived from establishment location as opposed to worker residence.
