Nevada one of top states in Job Creation

With unemployment at one time closer to 14%, it is great to note some good regarding unemployment. State unemployment numbers have dropped slightly from 13 percent in December 2011 to 12.7 percent in January 2012.

Nevada one of top states leading the nation in Job Creation is very welcomed news. The Labor Department says California, Arizona, Florida and Nevada, all states hit hard by the recession, now account for one-third of all jobs created across the country last year.

Caesars Entertainment hired 250 workers when its Margaritaville Casino opened last October. Its new Octavius Tower offered 400 positions and the Linq Project, now under construction, created some 3,000 new jobs.
