As one of the primary beneficiaries of the massive shift in the U.S. population from north to south, the Phoenix metro has had little difficulty finding workers. Phoenix claims five Fortune 500 headquarters, including Freeport-McMoRan, Republic Services, Insight Enterprises, Avnet and PetSmart. Construction, hightech manufacturing, healthcare and tourism dominate the Phoenix economy. The local economy has strengthened since the recession, with retail sales projected above 8 percent this year and hotel occupancy levels rising. High-tech manufacturing has been a powerful driver in the local economy for two decades. The region’s relatively low cost of doing business has encouraged several manufacturers to remain and expand in the area, while luring others. The strengthening economy has drawn job seekers to the area, boosting the housing market. Phoenix offers a lower cost of living than other metros its size, a moderate climate, and a wide variety of recreational and cultural activities.
