Report: Nevadans’ personal finances not good
By Eli Segall, Las Vegas Sun
Nevadans may not be on the edge of financial disaster anymore, but their personal finances remain among the worst in the country, with many residents unable to “build a secure economic future,” a new report says.
The state is racked by some of the highest rates of lousy consumer credit, bankruptcies, foreclosures, underemployment, mortgage delinquencies and uninsured residents.
That’s on top of Nevada’s many education woes, including a near-bottom high-school graduation rate, one of lowest shares of residents with college degrees, and below-average rates of middle-school math and reading skills.
That’s all according to the nonprofit Corporation for Enterprise Development, a Washington, D.C., advocacy group for lower-income Americans.
Go back to Cali you losers! Me and the rest of Nevada hope these false reports keep you idiots out of our state. Stay in Cali, don’t come here!
Yes, and apparently Nevada is about last in education too…. we got that.
yep…way up there in domestic violence, too
The usual suspects, looking down their noses at people they feel are inferior to themselves.
More people are moving TO Nevada than are leaving it. Unfortunately, too many of the people going there are like the two posters above, and are rapidly changing the state right into the places from which they took flight. It’s a damn shame.
48 states now have some form of legalized gaming causing a shift in the economic drivers of the state of Nevada, thereby creating an atmosphere where the state is doing everything they can to attract hi tech companies, thereby creating a need for a highly educated work force which the State of Nevada cannot accommodate, thereby creating new immigration from other states to Nevada.
Yet many Nevadans like NotFromCali don’t seem to understand what is going on in their state.
@Dogula…People who beat their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend….yeah I feel i am superior to those regressive pos’s. Add your name to your own list of ‘usual suspects’.
Dogs too busy pointing fingers to do much else, let alone anything relatively good IMHO
SO just call data you don’t like “false” and that way you can be right. The increase in Nevada population from 2010 – 2013 was 4.4%. The increase in California was 3.9%. Not a huge difference,but Nevada is just a bit higher. Nevada has a .10% higher birth rate, and a significantly higher infant mortality rate. Folks can afford to move to Nevada, but not so much the other way around. It has a lot a beauty and I hope you love it and have a great life there, but I wouldn’t be bragging so much.
Nevada’s population growth from 2010 to 2014 was about 138k. California’s population growth during the same period was about 1.6m.
In 2015 Nevada GDP is estimated to be about $137 Billion, California about $2.3 Trillion.
