Nebraska has a higher than national average of residents who are over the age of 65. Currently, 13.2 % of Nebraska residents are seniors. The US average is 12.4%. Currently, there are over 233,000 seniors in Nebraska. This number will most certainly rise in the coming years, as well as the need for assisted living and long term care in Nebraska.
Economy:
Nebraska has a strong agricultural tradition, and while most famous for its beef and corn, is also a major producer of wheat, soybeans and pork products. The world's second richest man, Warren Buffet, calls Omaha home and his legendary firm Berkshire Hathaway, is based there. The city is also plays host to some other corporate giants like ConAgra, Mutual of Omaha and TD Ameritrade.
Noteworthy:
Buffalo Bill (William Cody) started his famous Wild West Show near his ranch in North Platte, on Independence Day, 1882. |
