The State of the State

Gov. Steve Sisolak outlined plans Tuesday to spur job growth and attract new industries to Nevada as the coronavirus pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the state’s tourism-driven economy. In his prerecorded State of the State address, the first-term governor proposed investing heavily in job training, infrastructure and renewable energy to stimulate Nevada’s economy both during and after the pandemic. Since March, the coronavirus has infected more than 1 out of every 12 Nevadans and laid off almost as many workers.
