Nevada against the country

Each line is Nevada's private-sector figure beside the national total, with the share it makes up and, where the data allows, its rank among the fifty states.

What the ratios say

The BLS withholds counties where a figure would identify one employer, which means the 3 counties shown for Nevada understate what the state holds.

• The three largest warehousing counties hold 96% of Nevada's jobs in the line, and Clark County alone holds 67%.
• Size of site: 68.6 jobs in the typical Nevada warehouse, fewer than the 81.5 found across the country (16 percent fewer).
• Food manufacturing employs 0.20 people for every warehousing job in Nevada; across the US the ratio is 0.93.
• Nevada holds 0.47% of the nation's food manufacturing jobs and 2.2% of its warehousing jobs, so food is the lighter of the two lines here.
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing adds 1,439 jobs, 0.41% of the US total.
• Motor vehicle assembly accounts for 339 jobs in Nevada, 0.12% of the US total, with another 744 in parts.
• The 2 metros below account for 96% of the state's warehousing jobs, counting disclosed counties only.
• Clark County's 28,250 warehousing jobs are more than the whole state total of 30 other states, the largest being South Carolina at 27,150.
• New York runs warehouses of nearly the same size, at 66.5 jobs per establishment against 68.6 here.
• For food manufacturing, Alaska is the closest match at 8,882 jobs, 458 above Nevada's 8,424.
• The smallest county the BLS shows for Nevada is Storey County with 2,607 jobs; the largest has 10.8 times as many.
• If warehousing jobs were split evenly across 50 states, each would hold 2.0% of the total; Nevada holds 2.21%, which is 1.10 times an even share.
• Virginia sits above Nevada with 9,010 more warehousing jobs, and Michigan sits below with 1,360 fewer.

Metros we list in Nevada

2 metros in Nevada have a page with ZIPs, counties and corridors.

Wear you can measure

• Deck bow: lay the straight edge across and slide a feeler between it and the deck.
• Runner flattening: compare the thickness of a worn runner with an unworn one.
• Corner loss: hold a square against the corner and note any missing plastic.
• Pocket height: measure the opening at both ends of each fork pocket.
• Weight: weigh three pallets on a platform scale and note the spread.

A kit for the walk-around

• A steel tape that reads both inches and millimetres.
• A torch for the underside, where hairline cracks hide in shadow.
• A straight edge about a metre long to test decks for bow and dishing.
• Gloves, because burrs and weld beads cut skin.
• A phone, a pen and a numbered sheet so every pallet checked gets a mark.
