Arizona Poised To Beat National Job Numbers...

Arizona and West poised to beat national job numbers,
from the Business Journal of Phoenix, reports that while the national
economy is expected to remain sluggish through the rest of the year with a
projected 1.3 percent employment gain, projections for the West, including
Arizona, are much stronger. Arizona is expected to see a 3.5 percent gain in
wage and salary employment for the year, behind only Nevada which is
expected to gain 4.3 percent. The information came from the latest Western
Blue Chip Economic Forecast put out by the W.P. Carey School of Business at
ASU. The Blue Chip Forecast also looks at 2008 with Arizona jobs expected to
grow 3.4 percent. As long as we keep gaining population and jobs, our market
will be fine.
