Rancho Cucamonga-to-Las Vegas high-speed rail project to hire 11,000 workers

About 11,000 workers are needed to complete the 218 miles of rail by 2028 -- in time for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Workers in Nevada will begin construction at the future Vegas site and will continue their work toward the state line.

Trade unions in California say workers will begin construction at multiple sites. Eventually, workers from both states will meet and work together.

Looking at least an 8x "ripple" effect coming to the economies here in California and Nevada from this Infrastructure spending.
