Job Opportunities

No matter how you slice it, Carson City is very dependent on government for its workforce. The fact of life is that as long as Carson City remains the state capital of Nevada, government will dominate the workforce and as government salaries and benefits continue to increase, the private sector will continue to be hard pressed to compete for employees. According to the data collected by the Department of Training, Employment and Rehabilitation (DETR), the city’s five largest employers with over 1,000 employees are: 

1. Carson City School District
2. Carson Tahoe Hospital
3. City of Carson City
4. Department of Transportation
5. Western Nevada College

The remaining largest local employers in order of the number of employees are:

• Department of Corrections (Snyder Avenue)

• Wal-Mart Supercenter

• Chromalloy Nevada

• Department of Motor Vehicles

• Department of Corrections (Fifth Street)

• Legislative Counsel Bureau
