So many people are moving to Nevada, the Census Bureau says, that growth here could slow by 25 percent and we'd still be the nation's fastest-growing state. That means the need for more public jobs. Public employees, who repair Nevada's local streets and highways, operate its city and county jails and fill non-teaching jobs in its school districts are the best paid in the country when compared with their counterparts in the other 49 states and the District of Columbia, according to U.S. Census figures for 2001.
