The States Where Jobs Are Disappearing and Where They’re Moving to Instead

Arizona also had more jobs being created than lost, though the gap was smaller. Population growth helps bring new work, especially in construction, health care, logistics, hospitality, and tech-related industries. The Phoenix area, in particular, keeps attracting companies and workers.

But Arizona still lost jobs along the way. Some of that can come from businesses slowing hiring after rapid growth, higher operating costs, seasonal tourism changes, or construction cooling in certain areas. The state is still growing, but the job market has its ups and downs.
