There

With all of the gaming companies and Allegiant Air all HQ'ed in Vegas, I'd imagine there are a lot of jobs there in the tech space.

Finding jobs isnt the problem. Finding housing that one can afford is. I know absolutely nothing but housing but I'd like to see how many foreign entities have bought housing in Vegas to rent out and how much that affects rental rates.

I recently moved from one nice place to another, there were plenty of places to rent, I pay $1875 for a nice one bedroom right off strip.

If you go 10-15 minutes off strip and/or get a roommate you will pay much less. Seems quite affordable

I disagree with this, but it is the same in every big city. The guy making $12/hr? at CVS on the strip can't work there and pay rent without a 2 hour commute on a bus. I won't go into a dissertation on how America will crumble because it is choking off its pofolk workers from commuting to low paying jobs. SF2030 will be USA#1 before you know it.

Didn’t think the audience here was $12 an hour CVS employees. Post I was replying to made it seem like it was insane where you couldn’t get anything reasonable for less than 3K or something. Check out rents in NJ/NY and other high cost areas. There’s places to rent all over the place and plenty of people looking for roommates.

Also, can’t say I’ve checked out the market but it seems unlikely some min wage worker needs to bus 2 hours especially from areas I’ve seen around Stratosphere

Dude this has been going on since the 70's. People evidently are just waking up to this that the average joe wage isnt going up while the average pay for the ceo has exceeded the s&p gains over that same time period. This is an american phenomena and seemingly 350 million people tolerate it. ****ing past times for heads to roll and I mean that literally.

Ah, yes, head to roll so we can achieve the glory of China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.

This thread has taken an interesting turn..

Depending on where you've lived previous to your move to Las Vegas, they have very different views and experiences regarding cost of living. That said, I doubt the average CVS employee at one of the Strip locations has a 2 hour commute each way to get to work.

This is derailing the thread, but it should be noted that you have it backwards.

The person you were responding to was talking about the wages of CEOs and such compared to the wages of the Working Joe who makes minimum wage or just above it. The ratio of those wages is called the Gini coefficient. It is a measure of the "fairness" of wages in a country.

Generally speaking, countries with low Gini coefficients are the European counties that rate out with high happiness and where everyone does well. The countries with high Gini coefficients are the 3rd world hellholes rife with corruption and terrible for 95% of their citizens (like many of the countries you mention).

Unfortunately in the U.S., the Gini coefficient has been rising as the rich get richer and the rest of the population runs in place (essentially falling behind).

You built a strawman while not realizing just how wrong you were.

I literally responded to this quote, "****ing past times for heads to roll and I mean that literally." Are you saying revolution is going to fix the problem?

Da ?

Casinos are frequently hiring auditors.
