Scott Anderson, a senior economist with Wells Fargo, sees continued job growth in Nevada for the next couple of years, but he cautions that the pace is slowing.
His worries:
* The combination of higher mortgage rates and sharply higher home prices is likely to slow residential construction.
* The commodity price cycle may have peaked, bringing tighter times for miners.
* Higher oil prices might hurt travel, either by air or car, to the state's tourism destinations.
* Indian gaming in northern California will remain a drag on northern Nevada's economy.
