Azpm's Arizona Business Report

Arizona’s job market has been crawling out of a hole as it recovers from the Great Recession, and recently reached a point where it has recovered all the jobs it lost after the downturn. The same cannot be said of Tucson, where the job market has grown at a slower rate. But in recent months, Tucson has bucked that trend and is now adding jobs at a rate quicker than the national average. Zac Ziegler speaks with University of Arizona economist George Hammond about why Tucson’s recovery lagged, and why job growth has picked up lately.
