Nevada Fast Facts:
- Las Vegas per capita income, 2004: $32,963
- 2005 population growth: 20 percent (four times the national average)
- Percentage of Nevada jobs in the hospitality industry: 29 percent
It's easy to understand why Nevada has enjoyed such fast growth in recent years. The weather is temperate, the natural environment is varied and beautiful, and the cost of living is lower than in the more populated cities along the coasts. Not surprisingly, leisure and hospitality drive Nevada's economy. Especially in Las Vegas and Reno, there is a high demand for hospitality professionals to manage casinos and hotels, organize meetings, prepare and serve food, and attend to the needs of guests.
To prepare people for these jobs, the Battle Born state hosts a number of state, community, and private colleges. You can pair a degree program in hospitality management, for example, with an internship at a world-class Las Vegas resort. Degree programs and certificates in healthcare disciplines like nursing, medical assisting, and information technology are also available, along with traditional degree programs in business and liberal arts.
