Las Vegas lost more construction jobs than anywhere else in the country last year, according to a new report.
Data from the Associated General Contractors of America showed the area had the biggest percentage loss, as well as overall numerical loss, of construction jobs out of the largest 360 metro areas in 2025. The valley lost a total of 8,600 jobs (tying with New York for first place), or 11 percent of its overall workforce.
This total was down from 79,200 jobs in December 2024 to 70,600 in December and Ken Simonson, the chief economist for the trade group said a number of factors and issues played into this loss for the city.
