Arizona Groups Launch Job Creation Progress Meter

As competition grows stiffer to create jobs in Arizona and with big data becoming increasingly more important, the Center for the Future of Arizona and the Arizona Commerce Authority have responded by launching the Arizona Job Creation Progress Meter.

The meter will measure six indicators, including net new jobs and unemployment rate.

To learn more, we spoke with Sandra Watson — president and CEO of the Commerce Authority — and Lattie Coor, chairman and CEO of the Center for the Future of Arizona.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
