An organization dedicated to helping local businesses better themselves is also being hit by the economy.
The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce says it's reduced its workforce by 20% in an effort to cut costs.
Affected employees have been offered a severance package.
Kara Kelley, President and CEO of the chamber, said in statement Tuesday: "The chamber appreciates the service and dedication of these employees. They will be greatly missed by the chamber board, volunteers, members and fellow colleagues."
It is still going to be business as usual for the organization. The chamber had 58 employees before the cuts. The chamber has about 6,500 members has says they were forced to make cuts due to a drop in membership and event participation.
