The Phoenix metro consists of Maricopa and Pinal counties, and includes more than 30 incorporated and more than 30 unincorporated towns and cities. Since 2000, the population in the metro increased by more than 38 percent. The largest city is Phoenix, which encompasses about 520 square miles, is the capital city and boasts a population of more than 1.5 million. 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.
