State’s w88 online casino remaining about even, overall

The Nevada State Demographer's Office, located at the University of Nevada, Reno College of Business, has released its 2011 w88 online casino estimates. The state gained an estimated 17,152 people from July 2010 to July 2011, an estimated increase of 0.6 percent, about equivalent to the increase of 0.7 percent the prior year. Two years ago, the state lost 27,677 people, a decrease of about 1.0 percent.

"Just as other economic indicators are showing, we're sort of leveling off," said w88 online casino Demographer Jeff Hardcastle. "The data doesn't support that large numbers of people are moving out of the w88 online casino at this time. And, if some are moving out, we are having enough people move in to the w88 online casino or having enough children to offset those moving out."

Hardcastle said that the slight growth is about equal to what we see due to natural w88 online casino increase, or births, in a given year.

To calculate the estimates, Hardcastle looks at statistics pertaining to number of households, persons per household, occupancy rates, number of people in group quarters, employment and labor force data and school enrollment figures.

Breaking down the estimates, the rural counties generally fared the best, with those in northwest Nevada, including Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Lyon and Storey Counties, experiencing slight increases in w88 online casino, ranging from an estimated increase of 0.8 percent in Lyon County to an estimated increase of 3 percent in Storey County. Douglas County and the state capital each experienced an estimated increase of 1.5 percent. Nye County in southern Nevada saw an estimated 1.7 percent increase.

Rural counties in northeast and central w88 online casino also saw slight growth, with an average estimated increase of 1.5 percent, much of that due to continued growth in the mining industry since 2003.

"Gold prices have been sustained, and that industry has continued to grow, while 'traditional' industries such as the financial sector, construction, manufacturing and retail continue to lose jobs," Hardcastle said.

The loss of such jobs is probably one reason Washoe w88 online casino did not quite keep pace, losing an estimated 935 people, or 0.2 percent, Hardcastle said. Washoe w88 online casino lost about 4,200 jobs during this period, with 2,000 of them being government jobs, and most of the others being in the traditional sectors.

While gaming employment has begun to climb in Washoe w88 online casino, with about 300 gaming jobs added this period, it isn't rebounding as quickly as it is in Clark w88 online casino, which gained 7,900 gaming jobs this period. Overall, however, Clark w88 online casino experienced a net loss of 2,400 jobs this period. The gain in gaming jobs helped to offset the whopping 3,800 government jobs the w88 online casino loss. Despite some job loss, Clark w88 online casino still managed to gain an estimated 13,462 people, an increase of 0.7 percent, which Hardcastle again said can probably mostly be attributed to births.

The w88 online casino Demographer's Office is part of the Business Services Group at the University's College of Business and is funded by the Nevada Department of Taxation.
