CBER Report: Slow, Uneven Economic Recovery in Southern Nevada
The local economy shows mixed signals in a new report covering a broad range of economic indicators.
The latest research from the Center for Business and Economic Research in the Lee Business School at UNLV found local improvement in early 2012 in areas including tourism and employment, even as retail sales and construction stumbled.
Overall, the figures point to economic recovery — albeit a slow, uneven one, said Steve Brown, the center's director. "There's enough going on that we're generally seeing growth, and we have a generally favorable outlook for growth," Brown said. "But compared to where we used to be, you could think of the local economy as being like a car that's not running on all of its cylinders."
