Nevada carries a reputation as a one-horse state, relying mainly on the leisure and hospitality sector. For example, in 2019, accommodation and food services made up 26 percent of Nevada’s workforce. For many years, policymakers and analysts have argued that Nevada needed to diversify its economy like its neighbors Arizona and Utah. This notion has proven salient multiple times, such as during the 2008 Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic, when Nevada, and especially the Las Vegas metro area, became ground zero for a national economic slump.
