A March study by the Brookings Institution identified Las Vegas as one of the areas hardest hit by the virus in the U.S., with some 342,000 people, or one-third of the workforce, out of a job.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-22/nevada-governor-targets-june-4-date-for-reopening-casinos
