Southern Nevada Business Confidence Index Survey Results

In summary, Southern Nevada business leaders are optimistic about the business economic outlook, which is exciting considering the past few years have been a bit rocky. Check out the summary that Stephen Miller and Jinju Lee from the UNLV Center for Business and Economic Research has put together. There are some great insights into the local business economy and may provide some ways your business can take advantage of the opportunities that exist in our own backyard! The survey can be found here.
