Vegas PBS provides viewers with recession assistance and advice. As Nevada leads the nation in foreclosures and unemployment, Vegas PBS informs, educates and identifies local resources for our viewers.

Vegas PBS produced a thirteen part series called “Recession RX” as part of our commitment to assist our community during these tough economic times. Vegas PBS has also produced a number of short informational spots featuring some of our community partners as well as providing contact information to numerous organizations.

Vegas PBS along with community partners the United Way of Southern Nevada, KNPR-FM Nevada Public Radio, HELP of Southern Nevada, Consumer Credit Counseling, Legal Aid of Southern Nevada and United Labor Agency of Nevada helped to create “Recession RX”. This program was made possible by Bank of Nevada and Nevada JobConnect.
