With unemployment still high at 12.2% in the Las Vegas area, the latest commercial occupancy numbers indicate the local economy has yet to turn the corner toward sustained growth.

''Southern Nevada’s industrial market reversed a mildly positive course in 2011 with a very tough first quarter of 2012,'' Colliers International local research director John Stater said in the firm’s latest report.

Colliers said the local industrial market, consisting of some 108 million square feet of space in 4,300 buildings, ended the quarter with a vacancy rate of 15.4%, up from 15.1% at the end of 2011 and equal to the rate one year ago.

Analysts at Applied Analysis pegged the local industrial vacancy rate at 19%, a record level, up from 18.6% during the previous quarter and up from 17.7% one year ago.

With such high vacancy rates, landlords are being pressured to lower rents and experts expect the only construction in this sector to be build-to-suits as opposed to speculative product.

In another hard-hit sector, the local office building vacancy rate in the first quarter was 25.2%, equal to the fourth quarter but up from 23.7% one year ago, Applied Analysis said.]]> Newly released commercial real estate data show that the Las Vegas market continued to scrape along the bottom in the first quarter.

Simonson sees a national construction industry still working its way out of what’s been a very deep slump that trended along with the Great Recession, with unemployment levels for the industry down but still above 10%.

"This year, for the first time in five years, construction spending should be up anywhere from 5 to 15%," Simonson said.

Simonson said a host of major events in the past few years has begun motivating American manufacturers to reestablish operations in the United States to help avoid disruptions.

Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast--on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

The city of Chicago has developed a unique tradition of coloring the river water green.

Office and industrial space remains a tenant’s market with 87% of participants feeling that tenants are getting a range of benefits ranging from moderate concessions to deep rent discounts.

In a new study, Challenger, Gray & Christmas says that watching the game during work hours results in a lot of lost productivity.

Based on viewer data gathered last year, CG&C projects that March Madness coverage could attract more than 2.5 million unique visitors per day, with each spending an average of 90 minutes watching games.

"With private-sector workers earning an average of $23.29 per hour, Challenger estimates that employers will end up paying distracted workers about $175 million over the first two full days of the tournament," the company says in a news release.

A survey just released by MSN indicates that employers may simply have to accept the fact that workers will find some way to enjoy the games.

In the survey, 86% of respondents said they plan to devote at least some time during their work day to follow games, scores and updates, showing a 5% increase from last year (81%).

Last month, Turner Sports, CBS Sports and the NCAA announced that NCAA® March Madness® Live, formerly March Madness on Demand, will provide college basketball fans with more opportunities to watch games across multiple devices.]]> It’s March, and we know what that means: March Madness is just around the corner.

In a new study, Challenger, Gray & Christmas says that watching the game during work hours results in a lot of lost productivity.

Based on viewer data gathered last year, CG&C projects that March Madness coverage could attract more than 2.5 million unique visitors per day, with each spending an average of 90 minutes watching games.

"With private-sector workers earning an average of $23.29 per hour, Challenger estimates that employers will end up paying distracted workers about $175 million over the first two full days of the tournament," the company says in a news release.

And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;

Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."
