Wages in Clark County are low to begin with and got even lower during the recession especially for those not in the union.

I'm kind of in a bubble in that regard, bringing my job with me.. but I hire a lot of union guys in town, so I guess I'm helping!

Average wages have never been low in Clark County.

Mostly because Culinary establishes a base that everyone else meets.

Comprehending the incomprehensible is challenging.

But please elucidate...might even be entertaining.

Start with...

"Wages in Clark County are low to begin with "

And we will go from there...

^^^^Union wages vary from company to company and bargaining agreement of union to union with employers and it varies by state to state because of the difference in the cost of living.

Utah rejects water deal with Nevada | Las Vegas Review-Journal

Utah rejects water deal with Nevada

BY HENRY BREAN
Las Vegas Review Journal
April 4, 2013

In a move that could trigger a water war, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert said his state will not sign an agreement with Nevada over how to share a vast groundwater basin targeted by thirsty Las Vegas.

The Snake Valley water agreement was struck in August 2009 after four years of private talks among representatives from the two states. Nevada officials quickly signed off on the finished document, but their counterparts in Utah never did.
Herbert announced Wednesday that the deal is as good as dead.


“My decision was made as I visited with the good people who live in Western Utah — those most affected by the outcomes,” the Republican governor said in a statement. “A majority of local residents do not support the agreement with Nevada. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience sign the agreement because I won’t impose a solution on those most impacted that they themselves cannot support.”

This is why I said "sustainable growth". I love Las Vegas! Always have and always will...but the idea of over 2 million people clustered together in a desert valley isn't good for the long run.

Las Vegas needs to find a way to stabilize its population. Resources aren't infinite.
