Hopefully, there isn't a rush of people begging to move to Nebraska and South Dakota and they become overwhelmed with new people overnight because of their stable economy.
One thing to take into consideration is in a state like South Dakota or Nebraska is that they are heavily married cities where many if they are thrifty could live on one-income if they need to and the principle and interest costs on homes is very low.
Many work from home jobs prefer in states like South Dakota and Nebraska because the minimum wage is reasonable.
People also have to eat and Nebraska and South Dakota have a strong agricultural component to the economy. South Dakota seems to an epicenter of Medical Device and Medical Mask manufacturing also which are excellent jobs.
I know that South Dakota is a big medical manufactuter state. 3M and Medtronic both have massive facilities in South Dakota. Also work from home jobs that can be remote usually include South Dakota because of the lack of regulations and the minimum wage is lower than some of the more urban states.
Sioux Falls also has a very strong hospital infrastructure for it's size. It is also a very large farming state because people have to eat and commodity prices have basically not changed.
Nevada on the hand is very highly based a tourism and hospitality based economy. The crowds are what makes Las Vegas what it is. Reno is based heavily on leisure and hospitality and big factories with large groups of people in both.
They have some very small populated rural countries with lots of metals manufacturing.
South Dakota has lost around 11,000 out of it's 444,000 jobs= 2 percent
Seems as though Nebraska has lost just under 3 percent of their jobs. Wyoming has lost about 3 percent of it's jobs also in 2 weeks, the coal, oil and natural gas prices have been low for awhile and they already has stagnant employment.
Nevada has lost around 128,000 out of it's 1.428 million jobs= 9 percent
