other figures include grass valley in nevada city. napa valley of 70,000. another two equal 90,000. if the new pilot program requires them to reduce their distribution figures from their current combined 1.6 million, this will not put the san francisco books of business. point number two. higher labor costs are sustainable. we do not believe this will result in higher labor costs inevitably for the industry. they already do significant individual drop-offs through their secondary distribution. newcomers to move to the city can call to request a directorate harriett increased individual dropouts will not radically engage people. furthermore, the industry makes enough profit to meet any increased labor costs. it represents up to 35% to 40% of revenue. alone in 2008, $50.90 million. point number two, this is sustainable. the non english manufacturers and others have proven that this distribution is not necessary for successful yellow pages. they pay high lyric book -- higher labor costs to do so and are still successful. it does not rely on one-time yearly distribution. supervisor mar:

city under constant construction. but because it's in the arid mojave desert, the challenge of las vegas is supply. woman: all the growth and everything that's occurred in southern nevada has been with colorado river water. without it, the west as you know it today couldn't exist. narrator: to sustain their growing community with its limited supply, las vegas learned to be extremely efficient. mulroy: this is a desert, and it has its own beauty, but you have to get beyond what you're used to. as long as people recognize they're moving to the desert and give up this notion that they have to bring eastern vegetation with them and make the necessary adaptations in their own life, desert communities can continue to live. man: the biggest water user in the desert is turf. turf uses a lot of irrigation and uses spray irrigation, so what we've done here is use artificial turf. you're never going to be able to achieve the look of back east or the look of, say, california, with subtropical plants, but our landscapes are still lush and use about 30% of what the subtropical landscape with turf would use. las vegas has adopted a drought tolerant ordinance. we're using less water t

cities are going to be much more hard hit and sluggish to come out. some states haven't been affected nearly as much, areas of michigan, nevada we can see people hurting. the other issue is that unfortunately older workers are going to have a much more difficult time transitioning back into the labor market. they're trying to find skills that actually meet the demands of the job market. and that's one of the reasons a lot of people are concerned that we may not get back to the same level of employment we had before, because people close to that retirement age say i'm not going to bother going back. the final note is the other kind of dual-edged sword on the uninsurance benefits. and right now trying to take a really hard look of where we want to continue extending the benefits when this is the third or fourth month in a row the unemployment rate has dropped. and economic evidence has shown that extending unemployment benefits will have an effect of extending unemployment as well. there's an estimate by the bank of san francisco that continuing the benefits has raised the unemployment rate. . . you will see just what they are doing to the people. until
