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; the challenge, though, is attracting high-paying jobs. Phoenix claims five Fortune 500 headquarters, including Freeport-McMoRan, Republic Services, Insight Enterprises, Avnet and PetSmart. Construction, high-tech 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. Healthcare is also a critical industry to the Phoenix economy, with around 20 hospitals and the UA medical school located in the metro. Also, the Mayo Clinic has added a new cancer center. The Phoenix region boasts almost 300 days of sunshine annually, low humidity and mild winters. In addition to hiking, camping and boating, sports enthusiasts can enjoy one of the most complete lineups of major-league teams found in any city, including teams in all four major sports. The Cactus League holds spring training baseball throughout the Valley, and the area has numerous golf courses and tennis courts.
