Las Vegas Review Journal: “Las Vegas ended 2025 with one of highest jobless rates in country”
Welcome to your *new* weekly rundown of the damage the Lombardo-Trump economy is doing to Nevada — from driving up costs to leaving working families behind. As Las Vegas ended 2025 with one of the highest jobless rates in the country and tourists decide to stay home, it’s clear that Joe Lombardo and Donald Trump’s cost-raising agenda is dragging Nevada towards a full-blown crisis.
New analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that consumers bear 95% of the costs of Trump’s tariffs. As Nevadans already dip into emergency savings just to keep afloat, economists warn that “any recession would likely hit Nevada harder and faster.” While costs continue to skyrocket, Lombardo still refuses to defend Nevadans against Trump’s erratic agenda and even said Nevadans need to “feel a little pain” from tariffs.
