No matter how you slice it, Carson City is very dependent on government for its workforce.

176 manufacturers call Carson City home making our city the largest light industry manufacturing base in Nevada and accounts for approximately 24 percent of the total primary earnings in Carson City, employing 17 percent of all workers. Most manufacturers are located in the Airport Industrial Park (AIP).
