Arizona continues to lead the way in workforce growth and competitiveness. 🌟 #TalentAttraction #WorkforceDevelopment #Innovation #EconomicDevelopment
As regions work to build stronger workforces, a handful of states are showing what strong talent attraction can be. Arizona did just that, ranking #7 in the 2025 Lightcast Talent Attraction Scorecard! The Grand Canyon State secured the top ranking for blue collar job growth, an area most other states have faced significant challenges in. Special recognition goes to the Arizona Association for Economic Development, Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity, and Arizona Commerce Authority for helping their state achieve a top 10 ranking in talent attraction.
