Is Arizona Prepared For Another Recession?

In the midst of the Great Recession and, as Arizona was trying to dig itself out, one of the recurring themes was diversifying the economy.

Population growth and construction and real estate are great, so are sunshine and warm weather. But does that make a state truly competitive?

What about being ahead of the curve with some industries or establishing yourself as a tech and innovation leader? Has Arizona done enough economic diversifying to be ready for the next inevitable recession?

Jim Rounds of Rounds Consulting and Chris Camacho, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, joined The Show to talk about that.

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