Did you know?
Nevada's companies racked up a
record-breaking $1.544 billion in exports in the first
quarter of 2009, starting the state's seventh consecutive
year of increased international export activity according to
data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce?
Nevada's first quarter 2009 exports reflect
an $85.7 million or 6 percent increase over the same period
in 2008. Total exports for the entire U.S. were down 22.25
percent or $71 billion.
Nevada took the number 2 slot in state export
increases for the first quarter of 2009. Only three states
showed increases-Mississippi, Nevada and Oklahoma-all other
states experienced decreases for the first quarter of 2009.
