Individuals and employers benefited from well-established offerings. Opportunities around the state included unique approaches to engage youth, projects to assist veterans, and promising programs designed to further economic growth. WIOA funding, as well as funds from other sources, played a role in providing a level of services to meet workforce needs for businesses and workers. Successful outcomes were attained and WIOA performance levels were met, and often exceeded, through exceptional efforts by the state and the two local Workforce Development Boards (LWDB). The focus of State and LWDB activity included service to long term unemployed persons, veterans and cooperation with State initiatives in job growth and economic development. The positive results of these endeavors are reflected in each of the summaries of Nevada’s annual report.

Car sales jumped 20 percent, nearly twice the rate of increase in 2015. Much of this vigorous expansion resulted from the country’s temporary suspension of sales taxes for cars with small engines.

Perhaps the biggest of these changes involves the transformation taking place among car buyers.
