ICYMI: Nevada Leads the Nation in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Increase for First Quarter 2021
According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Nevada saw the largest increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the first quarter of 2021 at just under 11%. This comes a month after Governor Sisolak fully re-opened the state’s economy.
“It’s no secret that Nevada's economy took the hardest hit from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the recent GDP report from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis proves we will recover stronger and build the Nevada our families deserve,” Governor Sisolak said. “In order to ensure we continue down a successful path, we must remain focused on vaccinating our residents, putting people back to work, diversifying our economy, and ensuring that Nevada’s recovery reaches every individual and family.”
“The new GDP data shows that we have merged into the fast lane of the road to recovery,” said Michael Brown, Director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED). “The return of visitors in our hospitality sector, the infusion of support from the American Rescue Plan Act, and the steps taken to diversify the state’s economy have accelerated our recovery. Now we must focus on building resilience into our economy, to smooth out the bumps, with increased diversification in manufacturing/logistics, energy, technology, and healthcare with the goal of delivering good jobs today and better jobs tomorrow.”
