AAA to create 1,100 jobs in Glendale...

AAA to create 1,100 jobs at Glendale hub, from the Arizona Republic, reports on more good news for our local economy . The AAA travel and financial services club will locate up to 1,100 new jobs over the next three years in Glendale as it creates a regional customer service and information technology center in the West Valley. Roughly 500 of the jobs are considered high wage positions paying more than $75,000 a year. Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) helped broker the deal. When fully staffed, the facility will employ up to 1,400 and will be one of Glendale's largest employers. The project is expected to pump $42 million into Glendale's economy over the next 10 years. Glendale's recruitment of AAA comes after the state Department of Economic Security said last week that 97,700 jobs were created in Arizona in 2005, the most since 1995. Arizona was ranked number 3 in the nation for employment growth. As long as we keep creating jobs and attracting new population, our real estate market will do well!
