If you are a skilled professional – Reno wants you!
June 24, 2008
Considering relocating? Need a good job market for your professional skills? The Greater Reno-Tahoe region may be just the place for you.
With all of the woes of the country and especially the housing market, it’s a great time to be living in Northern Nevada. Our economic forecast for 2008 is strong with many businesses moving into the area and building continuing. We are experiencing a resurgence of our downtown with the completion of the train trench project and now businesses as well as residents are beginning to experience downtown living/working. The expansion of one of our hospitals and a major casino also reinforce the confidence we have in our city. With a strong economy, low unemployment rate, moderate traffic and great weather, it’s no wonder people continue to play and live here.
When companies are looking to expand or relocate, one of the factors that they consider is the job pool of skilled professionals in the area. Many of our companies want to expand, several companies want to relocate to the region but they need you.
Why relocate to the Greater Reno-Tahoe area?
- Our job market needs skilled professionals.
- Our Cost of Living is less expensive than many other metro areas.
- Our housing market is priced exactly where it should be. Median Sales Price $255,000.
- Commuting in Reno is easy, with less commute time.
- Reno has a wonderful moderate four season climate offering world famous outdoor recreational opportunities.
- Reno is on many Best Cities lists because of the quality lifestyle it offers.
The Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada, also known as EDAWN, along with a collation of companies have begun a recruitment campaign to attract young professionals to the Greater Reno-Tahoe Area.
Currently, EDAWN is targeting the San Francisco area emphasizing the many advantages of living and working in the Reno-Tahoe area. The Bay area was chosen as the first target area because of its nearby location and the many advantages the Reno region offers to those of the Bay area.
You do not have to be a Bay Area or California resident to enjoy the benefits of living in the Reno area (my family and I relocated from Chicago). I can tell you from personal experience that moving to Reno for professional and quality living was the best choice for our family and is one that we have never regretted.

My son moved to Reno in March. He still hasn’t found a job. They tell you to apply on line and naturally never respond. He was in the automotive dealerships as a service advisor, service manager for many years. His last job he was manager of a tire company in Ca. He was laid off as they said since he made the most money he has to go first. So the owner is now managing. I disagree with the way they tell you to apply. They don’t see you in person, you can’t talk to them. So—A move to Reno was not a good one.Naturally we are telling everyone that it’s great there but there are no jobs and no one to help.
