CHICK-FIL-A READY TO WADE INTO SIN CITY
A popular fast-food chain known for its chicken sand-
wiches and conservative religious outlook may open in Sin
City. Well, next door .
Chick-fi l-A is looking to buy a vacant building near
Galleria at Sunset mall in Henderson, landlord Julius
Ballardini said.
“We would very much like to serve the communi-
ties of Las Vegas, and while we are actively seeking
the fi rst few sites in Nevada, we have no locations to
confi rm just yet,” re staurant spokeswoman Carrie Kur-
lander said.
Atlanta-based Chick-fi l-A boasts more than 1,900 stores
nationally and brought in nearly $6 billion in sales last year.
Opening in America’s gambling-and-party mecca, how-
ever, might seem like an odd choice for a chain with
Christian roots. Its founder, the late S. Truett Cathy,
built his company on “hard work, humility and
biblical principles,” the company’s website
says. Chick-fi l-A restaurants are closed Sun-
days, and its corporate purpose is, in part,
to “glorify God by being a faithful steward
of all that is entrusted to us.” Chairman
and CEO Dan Cathy strongly opposes gay
marriage, and his comments in support
of “the biblical defi nition of the family
unit” sparked protests.
Southern Nevada, however,
would be a strong market for the
franchise . Despite its reliance on
sin, the valley is packed with peo-
ple who moved here from other
states, including where Chick-fi l-
A has restaurants.
Plus, it wouldn’t hurt to have a
mailing address of Henderson,
not its more famous neighbor.— ELI SEGALL

May 10- May 16
What is the biggest difference between owning restaurants in San Diego versus Las Vegas?
The biggest difference is that Vegas is a hospitality town. It’s fun to oper-ate here.
In Las Vegas, we are part of a thriv-ing industry, and you can find more qualified team members at all levels. From management to hourly servers, we find that Vegas attracts a higher caliber of hospitality professionals. In addition, there is a culinary school here that we can work with to find qualified chefs and employees.
What makes a successful restau-rateur in Las Vegas?
I’ve spent the majority of my career in Vegas, and I live here now and have been part of the hospitality scene for many years. When Sammy’s first opened 20 years ago, we made an im-pact on this city as a local favorite. We established a reputation for quality, good service and a nice atmosphere. We’ve evolved over the years, but we never lost sight of those core values.
I also strongly believe that to be successful, you have to be aware of what’s happening in the industry and current trends. I’m always out ex-ploring new restaurants, from Vegas to New York and even internationally.
Tell us about your newest res-taurant, Table 89.
Table 89 offers the convenience of fast service with an affordable menu. Our research shows us that conve-nience is something families are looking for in our busy world. Table 89 focuses on using local, organic and nutritionally-balanced ingredients.
How does philanthropy fit into your business model?
Giving back to the community is very important to us, and we love our partnerships. We work with many charities and nonprofits in Southern Nevada, from well-known organiza-tions like Opportunity Village, Keep Memory Alive and the Make-A-Wish Foundation to local schools and smaller nonprofits. We like to sup-
port them in various ways with fun-draising nights, donations of food or gift certificates, and larger partner-ships that can sometimes be compa-nywide.
What is the most challenging part of your job?
Constantly trying to find a balance between the rising costs of doing business (rising food costs, energy prices, etc.) and continuing to pro-vide a consistent, quality product.
What has been the most reward-ing part of your job?
After all these years of hard work and long hours, it’s when I walk into one of my restaurants and I can feel the energy of my guests. I love it when I see guests enjoying themselves and the dining experience. You can’t get that feeling anywhere else.
What are you reading right now?Right now, I’m reading “The Triple
Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America” by Amy Chua. It is a fascinating book about diversity and the foundation of America. I en-courage other people to take the time
to read it.
What do you do after work?The restaurant business is more
than just a “job,” it is a lifestyle. It’s fun and lively, and everything I do comes back to that. When I’m not at my restaurants, I enjoying dining at the fine restaurants of Las Vegas and taking part in everything this town has to offer. However, I am very dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle. I work out at the gym daily and also enjoy spending quiet nights at home with my wife, enjoying a good book or movie.
Blackberry, iPhone or Android?I’ve tried them all over the years,
but I love my iPhone.
Describe your management style.I’ve always believed you lead by
example, and I believe in managing from the bottom up. We have a very strong executive team that meets regularly with our employees and listens to their feedback and ideas on how we can improve operations and build employee morale.
Where do you see yourself and
your company in 10 years?In 10 years, I still will have the same
passion and dedication to my restau-rants. I see our company continuing to grow; we’d like to expand to 50 units, with Table 89 as the growth vehicle. We just opened with positive reviews and accolades in Centennial Hills. I believe the fast, casual seg-ment will only continue to grow, and we plan to be a part of it.
What is your dream job, outside of your current field?
When I was younger, I wanted to study political science and be a dip-lomat or an ambassador. However, my education and training happened to take me down the path to where I am today. This is my dream job, this is what I have a passion for. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
Whom do you admire and why?I admire all my colleagues in the
restaurant and hospitality industry. I know what it takes, how hard it is to succeed and the sacrifices that are involved. I find the devotion and commitment to this lifestyle very ad-mirable.
What is your biggest pet peeve?I’m very precise and punctual, so
my biggest pet peeve is tardiness. I find it insulting when people don’t show up when they say they are going to.
What is something people might not know about you?
Believe it or not, I’m very shy. Some-times people misunderstand me and consider it aloof. I’m also very health conscious. I study food and how it af-fects us. That’s why I’ve made such an emphasis on healthy dining and the quality of the food we serve in our restaurants.
Anything else you want to tell us?
I love Las Vegas, I love being here. I’m very proud to be part of a city that has raised the bar on dining to the highest in the world.

Describe your business.
We are a one-stop-shop team of music industry professionals who write, record, produce, mix and master music.
How have you coped with an
evolving music industry?
We understand the industry has had to make a big change over the years due to downloads. And the budgets re-quired to make a quality product are not what they used to be.
Back in the day, recording an album used to cost hun-dreds of thousands of dollars. Today, you can get an A-plus quality recording with Grammy-nominated talent attached and it will sound as if it had the platinum War-ner Bros. sound, for a quarter of that price.
We also were one of the first studios in Las Vegas to have done away with the typical hourly rate. Our clients pay a flat fee for the producers, writers, mixers and engineers who need to be involved, and then we take our time to make the best product for the client with no time constraints or stress. Nothing stifles creativity more than watching the clock, hour by hour, counting the money being lost, when you are trying to create your best musical piece.
How has your business changed over the years?
In the past, the No. 1 question from clients was, “OK, now that the product is done, what is the next step?” And in the past, my standard answer was, “We are a product-based company, and we do not dabble with the suits and ties in the industry.” That has all changed since we have now officially signed a partnership with Stampede Mu-sic Publishing. Now, when the same question is asked, I can offer the prospect of placement in TV and film with
a highly reputable and respected organization that works with some of the biggest stars in the world. What is your business phi-
losophy?
Omnitone’s motto is, “We make records, not demos,” and we stand by that. There are plen-
ty of studios in Las Vegas that people can use to record demos. We are not that facility.
What most people don’t understand is that record la-bels no longer invest in creating music anymore. They simply can’t afford to do so. Instead, what they are look-ing for is a finished product they can take directly to mar-ket. You have to, in a sense, walk in guns blazing with a winning song. That also changes your negotiation posi-tion for that deal, putting the odds in your favor.
What is the hardest part about doing business in Las
Vegas?
Lately, I have noticed more and more that people have forgotten about the art of recording. I have had meetings where someone has walked in with a beat they download-ed from YouTube and wanted to sing over it, calling it a song.
We can’t forget about the art of writing and recording your own music from scratch. Not only does that make the sound original for the artist, but there also is pride in-volved in creating something from nothing.
What have you learned from the recession?
I have learned that business will come and go, money will come and go, but people will always want to listen to music and escape.

I n a recent survey, the percentage of Las Vegas business owners who reported a “somewhat” to “very good” financial situation, cash flow
and revenue was at its highest point in seven years. It’s an indicator that the economy is improving.
Healthier businesses in stronger industries are in a better position to get approved for credit, and business owners are more confident about pursuing financing. With low-interest rates and favorable real estate values, more small-business owners are looking to expand or buy land instead of leasing space. To get there, an SBA 7(a) term loan makes sense for many.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), which does not directly make loans, provides a guarantee for loans made to small businesses by banks and other lending institutions. Because the SBA guarantees a portion of the 7(a) loan, SBA lenders are able to offer an alternative to creditworthy business owners who may not be able to obtain conventional bank financing.
To be eligible, a business must operate for profit and qualify as a small business, as defined by the SBA. Also, businesses cannot have a tangible net worth that exceeds $15 million and an average net income of more than $5 million over the past two years.
n Advantages: The 7(a) loan offers flexibility, such as longer terms and lower down payments, compared with
other types of business financing. n Fees and interest rates: Loans
guaranteed by the SBA are assessed a fee based on the loan’s maturity and the dollar
amount guaranteed, not the total loan amount. As a way to encourage more small loans, the SBA is waiving fees for loans less than $150,000.
n Terms: SBA loan programs generally are intended to encourage longer-term small-business financing. Loan terms are based on the ability to repay, the purpose of the loan and the useful life of the assets financed. However, maximum loan terms have been established: 25 years for real estate, 10 years for equipment (or demonstrated useful life), and 10 years for working capital or inventory loans.
According to the SBA, approximately 95 percent of small businesses are eligible for assistance. To ensure the success of a loan request, a business owner should look for a bank that is part of the SBA preferred lenders program (PLP). As experts in the field, SBA loan officers at banks have the knowledge and experience to streamline the application process and can determine the best program for your needs.
Most lenders also will ask for a business plan, as well as information about your experience and management capabilities. Check with your banker for support in preparing or updating your business plan.

Developers roll dice by launching major warehouse projectsBy eli segallStaff Writer
In the latest push to bring big ware-house space to Southern Nevada, de-veloper Doug Roberts broke ground on a project last month and gearing up for another.
And like other investors these days, he doesn’t have tenants lined up.
Roberts, a partner with Panattoni Development Co., recently oversaw a ceremonial groundbreaking on a 20-acre, $32 million industrial project at the northwest corner of Sunset Road and Jones Boulevard.
Known as Jones Corporate Park, it will feature two 208,000-square-foot buildings and is scheduled to be com-pleted by late September.
He’s also planning to break ground in about a month on Henderson Freeways Crossing, a six-building, $40 million project spread over 30 acres along Lake Mead Parkway at U.S. 95. The largest buildings will be 200,450 and 163,000 square feet.
Roberts is teaming with Chicago-based LaSalle Investment Manage-ment on the projects and doesn’t have users for either one.
But he’s betting the buildings won’t sit empty for long, or at all, due to the rising demand for warehouse space and the valley’s shortage of large, available buildings.
“It’s a gamble, there’s no doubt about it,” Roberts said. “But we think we’re right.”
Others making the same wager in-clude:n San Francisco-based Prologis,
which broke ground in September on a roughly 464,000-square-foot building at Pecos and Gowan roads in North Las Vegas. The company said it was the largest speculative industrial project locally in years.
Prologis said in January it leased the building to a subsidiary of con-sumer-electronics seller Systemax and that it planned to develop a 153,000-square-foot building next door.n Reno-based Dermody Prop-
erties recently broke ground on a 381,800-square-foot distribution fa-cility on Cheyenne Avenue between Lamb and Las Vegas boulevards in the north valley. The building, sched-uled to be completed in October, is Dermody’s first development locally in at least seven years.n Denver-based Pauls Corp. is plan-
ning a 40-acre development on Lone Mountain Road near Interstate 15 in the north valley, listing broker Greg Tassi, of CBRE Group, said. The proj-ect, with two buildings totaling about 690,600 square feet, is Pauls’ first industrial development in Southern Nevada, according to Tassi.
The Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance, a booster group, released a report last year on industrial real estate, saying the findings showed that dozens of companies considered moving here but picked other cit-ies largely because of a dearth of big, available warehouses in the valley.
Vacancy rates are down and asking rents are up for industrial properties valleywide, but it’s “the million-dol-lar question” whether too many de-velopers are building big and outpac-ing demand, Tassi said.
As plans were being formulated last year, Colliers International broker Dan Doherty said the first develop-ers who launched speculative proj-ects would do extremely well, but he warned that a “sheep mentality” could take root.
“The herd will move in, and we’ll eventually overbuild again,” he said at the time.
To investors’ benefit, the projects aren’t all clustered in one area, and tenants are scouting for big proper-ties, including retailers that need distribution centers for stores or for online shoppers, Tassi said.
Moreover, there is just one available building in the valley that’s larger than 100,000 square feet, according to Tassi. It’s in southwest Las Vegas.
“That’s it,” he said.Speculative construction was all
too common during the boom years, when risky — often reckless — devel-opment blanketed the valley.
Investors flooded Southern Nevada with warehouses last decade thanks to Wall Street’s easy money, and land-lords had little trouble filling them. The valley’s industrial vacancy rate was just 3 percent in spring 2006, ac-cording to Colliers.
But many warehouses were built poorly and in bad locations, some-times by rookie developers. Proper-ties emptied when the economy col-lapsed, and the area’s vacancy rate ballooned to almost 15 percent in 2010.
Construction ground to a halt, too.After building 31 million square
feet of space locally from 2002 to 2008 — with 6.8 million square feet in 2007 alone — investors did not open a single project in 2012, according to Colliers’ Las Vegas research manager, John Stater.
The vacancy rate is now 8 percent, and developers opened 1.1 million square feet of industrial space in Southern Nevada last year.
Stater expects more than 1 million square of completions this year as well.
“Spec is back,” said Pat Gallagher, Southwest regional partner for Der-mody.
Developer Doug Roberts is planning a speculative warehouse project on this plot
of land at the northwest corner of Jones Boulevard and Sunset Road.

Face-lifts at major malls on Strip to bring new restaurant, retail offeringsBy eli segallStaff Writer
Two shopping malls in Las Vegas’ resort corridor are getting miniature face-lifts to make room for more res-taurants.
The projects, at Fashion Show mall and Miracle Mile Shops, come as de-velopers build more restaurant and retail space up and down the Strip, hoping to corral tourists, who in-creasingly bypass casino floors for other places to spend their money.
Work crews are building 22,000 square feet of restaurant and re-tail space along the Strip at Fashion Show.
Sushi and sandwich chain Kona Grill has signed a lease for one of the three planned restaurant spaces, and expected retail stores out there in-clude Davidoff cigar bar, according to mall spokeswoman Janet LaFevre.
Businesses are expected to open by year’s end, she said.
The retail space will include seven
free-standing “cabanas,” LaFevre said, adding they are new concepts and not like traditional kiosks seen in Fashion Show and other malls.
At Miracle Mile, about two miles south of Fashion Show, management plans to rip out the mall’s last exte-rior remnants of its former North African-themed decor and replace it with a more modern look, part of a 60,000-square-foot renovation.
That portion of the mall looks like a faux-medieval fortress, a holdover
from Miracle Mile’s early days as the Moroccan-themed Desert Passage.
“The idea is to create a completely redesigned look,” General Manager Jerry Irwin said.
Inside, work crews have been chop-ping up the area into several res-taurant spaces. So far, Buffalo Wild Wings and Texas Land & Cattle have signed leases there, taking about 17,200 square feet combined, Irwin said. They also are slated to open by year’s end.

Penn National Gaming, which will pay $360 million to acquire the Tropicana, has shed light on its vision for the classic property.
Penn, a regional gaming company that operates the M Resort in Hender-son, reiterated in a statement that it had long wanted to break into the Strip mar-ket and laid out a two-part plan for the Tropicana.
Timothy Wilmott, Penn’s president and CEO, said in the statement that the acquisition was a “prudent transaction” that would allow Penn to run a “premier Strip asset at an attractive price of en-try.”
“Given our goal of leveraging Penn Na-tional’s database of nearly 3 million ac-tive regional gaming customers, we have spent the past several years reviewing an acquisition of numerous gaming assets in Las Vegas,” Wilmott said.
“The Tropicana is a quality facility that can serve as an attractive destina-tion offering for current Penn National customers, which further enhances our strong competitive position in the re-gional gaming markets in which we op-erate across the United States,” he said.
Wilmott said the two-part plan should be carried out over the next three to five years.
In the first phase, the company in-tends to invest about $20 million in property improvements and “integra-tion activities.”
That will include using Penn’s nation-wide customer database to boost visita-tion and upgrading Tropicana’s technol-ogy to bring it in line with the company’s existing systems, Wilmott said. Penn plans to launch its loyalty program — Marquee Rewards — at the Tropicana.
In the second phase, Penn will con-sider “other potential facility enhance-ments,” such as adding more shopping, restaurants, casino upgrades and hotel rooms.
“The scope, budget and timing of any such expansion and improvements will be determined based upon Penn Nation-al’s initial operation of the property and customer demand for additional ameni-ties,” Wilmott said.
Wilmott also provided fresh insight as to why Penn chose to buy the Tropicana instead of entering the Strip via a differ-ent property acquisition.
He noted that the Tropicana, located at the southeast corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard, was situated on “one of the busiest and most famous intersections in Las Vegas.” It
also stands to gain from the opening of the new arena near New York-New York, he said.
A report from Union Gaming Group called the Tropicana acquisition a “transformative transaction” and looked favorably on the valuation of the deal, calling it “an attractive entry price”
for the Strip.Penn spun off most of its properties,
including the M Resort, into a real es-tate investment trust in 2013. Penn now leases them back from a company called Gaming and Leisure Properties.
A Penn spokesperson said via email that Gaming and Leisure “has no in-
volvement in this transaction whatso-ever.”
Penn plans to fund the Tropicana purchase with an expansion of existing credit facilities and cash on hand. It ex-pects the sale, which will require regula-tory approval, to close by the end of the year.
Penn National’s acquisition of Tropicana called ‘transformative’

Why the Economic Forum matters to NevadaBy kyle roerinkStaff Writer
It’s a day state budget wonks antici-pate every session. It ignites the end-game discussion about funding the state budget and levying new tax pro-posals.
Lawmakers, bureaucrats and lob-byists tuned in for presentations and data analysis at the May 1 Economic Forum meeting, waiting for the fo-rum to provide one estimate: How many billions in taxes will flow into the state’s coffers during the next two years.
The forum — a five-member, inde-pendent panel of economic and tax experts picked by the governor and legislative leaders — offered its best predictions about how the economy will perform in the next two years. That insight paves the way for law-makers to fund each agency in state government. It also provokes more discussions on the tax proposals that have disrupted the GOP, which cur-rently holds the majority in both leg-islative chambers, and are expected to help fund new programs for the state’s bottom-tier public education system.
WHAT THE FORUM FOUndThe forum uses factors like oil pric-
es, gaming wins, employment, hous-ing sales and a swath of other data to offer government an accurate eco-nomic diagnosis.
The forum last met in December to give politicos a revenue blueprint to use for the beginning of the session, saying the state is likely to collect about $1 billion less than Gov. Brian Sandoval’s proposed budget, which he unveiled in January. That gap will continue the ongoing debate about raising $438 million in new taxes for education and extending a more-than-$600 million tax package that is set to expire in July.
For five months, the forum worked on its latest forecast — that the state will collect about $6.2 billion in taxes in the next two fiscal years (about $100 million less than the December estimate, which did not take into ac-count more than $150 million in tax credits for a Tesla battery factory and film incentive program).
“If somebody was hoping for additional money, it’s not happening,” said Marvin Leavitt, a forum member.
Data from numerous sources help
the forum create its projections.A handful of state economists and
Moody’s Investor Service provided the forum information about how the national and local economies affect the tax revenues the state collects for the general fund.
The forum’s projections don’t show huge economic gains in the coming years but anticipate a continuing slow climb. The forum will send its analysis to the governor and lawmakers to examine.
Much of what was said by economists is good news for the state: Nevada is growing jobs faster than 46 states — adding 100,000 since 2010.
By 2016, the state will recover
175,000 jobs lost during recession and should add an additional 97,000 positions by the end of 2017, Bill Anderson, an economist in the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation, said in a presentation to forum members.
Nevada still has one of the nation’s highest unemployment rates at 7.1 percent. The rate is 1.6 percent higher than national rate, down from a 4 percent gap during the recession, he said.
THE EndGAMEThe numbers add to the growing
speculation about the tax fight in the Assembly. Republicans have an ideo-
logical divide driving through their caucus. Some are firmly in the no-new-tax wing and others are willing to vote for a plan that raises money for education. A handful are pushing for different tax proposals.
With the two-thirds vote necessary to pass a tax in the state, the anti-tax wing needs 15 out of 42 votes to kill the Sandoval plan.
There’s “no appetite” for Sandoval’s plan among Assembly Republicans, said Derek Armstrong, R-Henderson, who is chairman of the Assembly tax committee.
That means the plan, passed by the Senate last month, won’t likely last in its current form in the Assembly and will likely combine with others out there. One, proposed by Arm-strong, calls to boost the rates and expand who pays the state’s payroll tax (only 3,000 of the 330,000 busi-nesses in the state pay it). A proposal from Democratic Assemblywoman Marilyn Kirkpatrick would tax music festivals, NASCAR and other outdoor events currently protected from the state’s entertainment tax.
With the Assembly in limbo, there also are questions about a special ses-sion the governor would have to call if lawmakers can’t pass a budget by June 2. The conflicts over taxes have made that a likely scenario.
“We don’t know yet. We’re hoping for an end,” said Mike Willden, San-doval’s chief of staff.
GAMInG REVEnUEA gaming tax supplies 27 percent
of the general fund. Combined with other casino taxes that go to other funds, gaming offers the state nearly half its revenue. But revenues have seen a decline in the past year in Clark County. That’s an important factor for the forum to predict and one that state agencies rely on.
The Gaming Control Board said casinos won $916.1 million in March, down 1.08 percent from the same month a year ago. Gaming revenue is also down for the fiscal year, which began July 1, by 1.99 percent.
On the Strip, where a large portion of the state’s gaming revenue is gen-erated, casinos won $531.3 million, a decrease of 4.38 percent from 2014. Baccarat revenue there dropped 22.58 percent to $120.9 million.
“The forum is going to have to grind through ... right now the numbers are looking flat,” Willden said.

hiring temps, from page 1
In five years, demand has increased almost 60 percentemployment agency PrideStaff, but this one topped them all. It was hu-morous, he said, but Daniel had to reject it because it violated the firm’s equal opportunity employer stan-dards. The company would not get the agent it wanted after all.
In a typical month, Daniel’s agency has to find as many as 400 workers for clients such as the MGM Grand.
The job market for temporary employment is growing locally and nationally. Over the past five years, demand for temporary workers in-creased across the country by almost 60 percent and is expected to rise an-other 13 percent by 2019, according to Business News Daily. In Las Vegas, the number of temporary jobs posted by staffing agencies increased about 5 percent from February 2013 to No-vember 2014 and is rising again, ac-cording to CareerBuilder.
In a typical week, Manpower of Southern Nevada can receive requests for up to 800 employees for tempo-rary or full-time work. Millenium Staffing Services gets requests for 600 to 900 workers per week, CEO Jenni-fer DeHaven said.
The increase could be employers’ response to years of uncertainty after the Great Recession. Rather than take a chance making permanent hires, companies look to temporary workers to counter fluctuations in the market.
“You can hire temporary staff for those peaks and valleys,” DeHaven said.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority hires temporary workers to help clean up after big con-ventions. The agency typically hosts about seven shows a year that require half a dozen temporary janitorial workers.
“For us, it’s a manpower issue,” LVCVA spokesman Jeremy Handel said. “It’s a matter of keeping the cam-pus clean.”
Temporary employment also can save companies time and money. As of December, it cost private employ-ers an average of $31.62 an hour for employee compensation, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If workers are hired as temps, such ben-
efits aren’t required. Companies also are spared the
headache of vetting applicants, as workers are listed on the staffing agency’s payroll.
“We do the background checks and interview the people, and we will match the skill sets with the firm,” Daniel said.
Companies also are freed from hav-
ing to worry about severance and un-employment pay.
“A lot of companies want the flexi-bility of ending someone’s assignment if they’re not a good fit or if there is no longer a demand for the product or output,” DeHaven said. “They’re not having to bring on the cost of a full-time employee.”
Temporary hires are a particularly attractive option for startups because their future can be uncertain.
“When you’re in a startup, you need to get a lot of things done and you’re always understaffed,” said Hans Rawhouser, an assistant professor at UNLV’s Lee Business School. “Once you take on an employee, there’s a lot of legal obligations. Temporary em-ployees help you make sure you have the right person before you hire them on.”
It’s not just companies that benefit from such hires. Temporary employ-ees make an average of $25 an hour and typically hold positions for as long as five years depending on the field, DeHaven said. IT workers can make as much as $100 an hour, said Jeff Parker, vice president of Manpower of Southern Nevada.
When Ryan Ellison, 33, worked as a temp for LV Liquidators, his contract was extended from two days to two weeks. He made $500 in a week.
“You go in, you break your back, you do your job,” Ellison said. “Eventually, they will recognize you.”
Competition for workers can be fierce — a dramatic shift from the re-cession years, when national unem-ployment reached 9.8 percent and Las Vegas’ jobless rate skyrocketed to 14.7 percent. Then, workers were plenti-ful. Now, with the local unemploy-ment rate less than 7 percent, there are significantly fewer applicants.
“It’s getting much more difficult to find qualified talent here in Las Ve-gas,” said Brian Wolf, branch manager of Manpower of Southern Nevada. “People are finding full-time work where there wasn’t full-time work in the past.”
Not all companies have adjusted to the shift. CareerBuilder found that from February 2013 to January, the number of Las Vegans seeking em-ployment was fewer than half the number of jobs available.
“It’s hard to convince people to leave a job, especially if they’re in a full-time job,” Parker said. “When em-ployers are going out to look for a po-tential employee, the employer needs to keep in mind that there are lots of companies hiring. I think that’s where the misconception is. It’s still a buyer’s market.”
With the competition comes the need for companies to be creative. Daniel said making a job description attractive through storytelling could mean the difference in landing a cov-eted employee.
“There are so many job postings out there, so you’re competing with that visibility,” Daniel said.
Finding temporary workers may require slicker marketing than in the past, but it still is a win-win for com-panies and workers.
“I think the talent is here in Las Ve-gas,” Wolf said. “Being a temporary employee, in a lot of circumstances, is a way for you to get your foot in the door or move your way up in a com-pany.”
