Nevada Economy
About half of Alabama
Most of Nevada’s economic riches are
located deep within the ground. The state is a leading producer of gold, silver,
and mercury. Copper is still mined, although it is no longer as dominant as it
was in the past.
Tourism provides the major source of income for the state. Millions of visitors
come to Nevada each year to enjoy the scenery, resorts, and gambling
opportunities centered in Las Vegas, Reno, and Lake Tahoe. Approximately half of
all workers in the state are employed by service industries related to tourism.
Because of the arid climate, farming is not highly developed. But irrigation
practices have made the cultivation of vegetables, greenhouse and nursery
plants, and grain possible. Livestock ranching is the main agricultural activity
in Nevada. High plateau areas are ideal for grazing of sheep and cattle.
Other industries important to the state include the manufacturing of gaming
machines, aerospace equipment, irrigation devices, and seismic monitoring
devices.
