Nevada income falls (worst in nation)

According to USA today:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-09-21-1Astateincome21_ST_N.htm

Nevada's income fell 7.4% during the 18 months of the recession and 3.6% in the year after — worst in the nation, both before and after...

could this (possibly) have anything to do with:

(naw.... probably just a coincidence,  we all know what a fine job the educational establishment is doing)

Another headline in the same USA today section:

Retraining, Resilience turned 'bad into good'

(which talks about a plant closure and getting employees back to work)

 Notice the word "retraining"......???

hmmmmmmmm
