Nevada 4 times the job growth rate of Los Angeles due to low regulation, very low taxes and no excessive minimum wages (employment, economy)

The proof is in the new jobs numbers coming out. The verdict is in ultra-low Nevada taxes and regulations are the magic potion for the economy.

Interesting, how the ultra-low tax and ultra-low regulation state of Nevada is doing so much better on employment then Los Angeles.

Maybe it is time California have the same tax structure as Nevada with no state income, no intrusive corporate income taxes.

I rented a room a huge house in Las Vegas a couple years ago and the landlord was paying $1200 a year in property on the massive house!

Liberals don't want more jobs. They want more handouts. So your argument is void in their universe.

Why are you comparing a whole state to a single city? Wouldn't a fair comparison be more like California vs. Nevada or Los Angeles to Las Vegas?

Nevada fell off a cliff during the great recession. Its like boasting about falling down a 20 feet hole and then climbing back up again to square one.

The other part of the equation is that working stiffs bragging about tax havens being so great are shooting themselves in the foot. Tax havens are seen as leeches. They can attract businesses that dont want to pay taxes and other states and countries have to tax their citizens more in order to provide education, roads and everything else that businesses feel entitled to without paying for it.

Nevada added 46,200 jobs between April 2016 and April 2017. California added 236,700.
Las Vegas added 23,000 jobs between April 2016 and April 2017. Los Angeles added 51,200, more than the whole state of Nevada.

This. OP doesn't understand quantity vs percentage, or the law of diminishing returns

I wouldn't be able to live in Vegas due to unrelated occupancy restrictions.

Los Angeles has 6 times the population of Las Vegas. And you are using screwed up definitions. For instance around 80% of the jobs added in NV were added in LV...or about 36,000 jobs. What you likely have is the figures for the City of LV which is a small part of LV.

Pretty much, except Nevada is still very much still over the cliff. They haven't actually managed to climb all the way back up.

- Highest small business delinquency rate in the country
- Sixth highest home foreclosure rate

Nevada has a long, long way to go just to return to something that looks normal, much less nation-leading.
