Industries

1. Industry in Nevada is limited but diversified, producing communications equipment, pet food, chemicals, and sprinkler systems, among other products. The total value of shipments by manufacturers in 1997 was $6.7 billion, with the 3rd highest growth rate in the country between 1992 and 1997 (102%).

Exports

• 1. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Nevada exports increased by $291.7 million during the first half of 2010, creating 2,227 new jobs.  This is a growth of 22.9 percent compared to the same period in 2009.  Every $131, 000 in exports creates one new job according to the DOC.

• Nevada exports, including precious metals (mainly gold and some silver) were up over two percent during the first half of 2010, showing a remarkable recovery from the almost 14 percent decrease during 2009. Since the price and demand of gold and silver are both governed by world markets, it is difficult for the Nevada mining industry to control the export demand for these products. Seven of the 10 top export categories showed increases from 18 percent to more than 2,000 percent compared to 2009 including:
