The Economic Forum, the group of private business experts that analyze the state economy to provide guidance for legislators, issued a very optimistic report. They’re projecting state taxes will bring in nearly $96 million more in the next two years than previously expected. The panel agreed state revenue will total about $8 billion in fiscal years 2017-2019. They also suggest job levels will exceed the pre recession peak by 127 thousand, by the end of 2019. Chief Economist Bill Anderson of the Nevada Department of Employment and Training says projections continue to show solid growth in the labor market, and that all sectors are expected to add jobs, including construction and manufacturing. Currently Nevada has the fourth fastest private sector job growth in the U.S., and average wages have grown to $950 per week, an all time high. Governor Sandoval says he’d like to spend the extra money on K-12  education.
