There is also a decent bit of manufacturing.  

Account Closed down played a large deployment, but large deployments can and do happen, oil fields can and do crash with the oil market, automotive manufacturing can and does crash with changes in demand.

Hardware stores make money, which in turn manufacturers make money.The list goes on. 

Las Vegas will have its first major national sports team (NHL), Faraday Future is a new electric car company that is building a huge manufacturing facility, (not putting a lot of emphasis on this because it can possibly flop you know like Fisker).

It used to have a lot of manufacturing but not so much anymore.

I just want to be able to throw a manufactured home on it (or sell it so the buyer can do this)

I work as a Manufacturing Engineer for a medical device company in Minneapolis, MN. 

It’s a town of about 5,000 with manufacturing and agricultural jobs.

I'm a big believer in overall themes like the U.S. population moving South and West over time and the manufacturing base in the U.S. doing the same because of a more business-friendly climate, lower taxes, and an overall lower cost of living. 

In terms of employment hubs, ensure that the current major employers are there to stay - for instance - hospital or manufacturing facility.
