Education in the Southwest: Come to Arizona
According to the University of Arizona Economic and Business Research Center, with reference to the recent recession, Arizona employment is no longer falling, personal income is stable, retail sales are up, and the housing market looks to be recovering. Arizona's top economic driver--tourism--however, is having a hard time recovering. Even during the recession, in 2009 tourism still accounted for 200,000 jobs and a $2 billion addition to the state coffers. A recent Manpower Employment survey ranked Arizona second in the nation for best hiring opportunities, another indication that economic recovery may be on the way.

Workforce Arizona projects that top job growth in Arizona from 2008-2018 should be in education and health services, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality.
