I am considering leaving Los Angeles to Las Vegas for a fresh start.I wanted to know what industries have the most jobs available. I am 22 so I don’t have a lot of work experience. Most of my work experience is in Customer service and Security. I am also interested in going to cosmetology school there, or possibly studying art.

STOP… don’t come here.. we did a few months ago, lucky for us we came here with a job … unless you want to work for walmart or mcd’s.. not much in big bizz…
Prostitution is always booming in vegas.
Other than that….
Honestly beyond the strip Vegas seems rather broken and slummy to me.
Vegas is bad right now, everyone is laying people off. Rent is high, pay is low.
your best bet is to get a job working security until you meet people and realize what is it you really want to do always security jobs available if you have experience
Employment going downhill. Minimum wage town. Unless you are your own boss with own successful business, or you have a college degree of some sort.
Lots of Tourism jobs available, which includes security guards at almost any and all places of Las Vegas, NV. Henderson, NV. Summerlin, NV.
Customer Service jobs available at http://www.citibank.com look under The Lakes, NV for jobs.
Temp job placements such as Kelly Services can help you find a temp to hire job.
Job market is terrible here. Major casinos are laying off workers. That is where the most jobs here in vegas are situated. When they do have to hire someone there are 50 applicants for each opening. Plus the fact they are experienced and already live here makes it even more difficult for someone to move here and find work. The area that is still doing well is security but there are reasons for it. I would not suggest moving here at this time.
