Greater Phoenix Workforce

The Greater Phoenix population is young, rapidly growing, diverse and educated. They are the reason many companies have chosen to relocate to the region. Our low cost of living keeps wages competitive when compared to cities with similar workforce characteristics.

With a population of 4 million and a workforce of 2 million, Greater Phoenix has consistently outpaced the U.S. in employment growth over the last six decades. Plus, the region is home to a myriad of education institutions that continue to provide a valuable talent pipeline, including:
  • Arizona State University
  • Maricopa Community Colleges
  • University of Phoenix
  • Thunderbird School of Global Management
