Amid troubling economic trends, hiring has ‘leveled off’ in Las Vegas

Aaron Mahan, of Henderson, said he lost his long-held job as a food server at an off-Strip hotel in late August and was rehired about a week later into a lower-paying position at the property.

He is a member of Las Vegas’ powerful Culinary Local 226, and spokeswoman Bethany Khan said members have priority placement into available positions.

“The town isn’t as busy as it once was,” he said.

Culinary union President Diana Valles said the “Trump slump” has arrived in Las Vegas and has been affecting union jobs and workers’ hours.

As she described it, the administration has been “pushing chaotic tariffs that have driven away customers from Canada, Mexico, Southern California, and around the world.”
