Nevada was recently ranked by the Federal Funds Information for States Index of State Economic Momentum and placed top in the nation in several areas of growth.
Personal income growth, employment growth and population growth are all positive contributors to Nevada’s status, according to the grou[.
“IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Nevada is recovering at one of the fastest rates in the country, particularly in personal income growth and employment growth," Gov. Steve Sisolak said in a tweet.
The report shows Nevada led the U.S. in gross domestic product growth in the first two quarters of 2021, KLAS reported.
“Nevada has made tremendous progress in our recovery efforts over the past two years, and I know we’ll accomplish even more in the new year,” Sisolak said, according to KLAS. “Being at the top of lists like this one is critical to our success but more importantly, as our state grows, I am working to ensure every Nevadan is given the chance to succeed, earn more and provide for their families. I look forward to continued growth and topping many more lists in 2022.”
The economic growth could be one of the reasons KSNV recently reported that Nevada was among the top 10 states that people in the U.S. moved to in 2021.
