Arizona Egg

Something that is always good to hear for any of us here in Arizona who are looking for employment, is that the state is currently having record lows in our unemployment levels at 3.3%. The mortgage industry across the nation is in a slump, and here in Arizona we have lost 2,200 construction jobs just in September. The positive note is that as a whole right now in Arizona we gained a total of 28,500 jobs, 19,000 of them were in the seasonal job market so be on the lookout for all of those seasonal jobs opening up with Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner. Also we experienced a surge of available jobs in education, hospitality, and health services so if you have any experience in those areas, or you might be looking to make a change in your career field be aware of that fact when you are out looking.

Be aware that this holiday season the automotive and the clothing industry are in a tremendous slump so it might be much harder to get a job in those markets. With debt rising along with the price of oil, many market observers are unsure of when those trends will be turning around. Even with the issues in the mortgage industry, the entire financial industry is not being affected as a whole, which is always good news to all of you who are currently looking for jobs in those markets. The most appealing statistic for job seekers has to be the fact that the rates went down statewide, so start looking in the windows for those Help Wanted signs, and as your job search begins, let us be your EmploymentGuide!
