In addition to enjoying a fair share of double plays, switch hitters and big-time prospects, visitors to Greater Phoenix can expect to take in an abundance of March sunshine as well. The Cactus League grows more and more popular each year, as indicated by the record-breaking 1.24 million fans who attended Cactus League games in 2004.

65K in '04: State in top 10 for new jobs

65K in '04: State in top 10 for new jobs

But the December number, 5,700, is about one-third of the 10-year average for the month.

Job creation around the state ended on a sour note in December, with only 5,700 new jobs added, or about one-third of the 10-year average for December.
However, the figures released yesterday from the state Department of Economic Security also showed Arizona gained nearly 65,000 jobs during the year, for a 2.8 percent increase.

"A lot of states are not growing as fast as we are," state economist Don Wehbey said. "Many industries set new records for job levels. So there's been continued progress."

Year over year, construction, education and health services drove the state's job growth, accounting for more than 50 percent of the new jobs.

Manufacturing finished the year with 1,000 fewer jobs than the year before, and the information sector, which includes telecommunications, lost 3,700 jobs.

While not up to growth rates achieved in the boom years of the 1990s, the state's 2.8 percent overall growth does put the state among the top 10 in the nation for job creation in 2004.

December jobless rate drops

Howard Fischer/ Capitol Media Services

PHOENIX -- Arizona's jobless rate dropped sharply in December -- but not because more people are working.

In fact, just the reverse is true: The number of Arizonans actually employed dropped by about 5,000 between November and December. But the number of people looking for work slid more -- by close to 13,800.

PHOENIX -- Arizona's jobless rate dropped sharply in December -- but not because more people are working.
In fact, just the reverse is true: The number of Arizonans actually employed dropped by about 5,000 between November and December. But the number of people looking for work slid more -- by close to 13,800.

The result was a statewide seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 4.2 percent. That's down three-tenths of a point from the prior month, and eight-tenths from a year earlier.

Arizona's 2004 gains insufficient

The year 2004 may go down as a turning point for the Arizona economy following a couple of underperforming years, but for many, it will be remembered for its tepid job growth.

From December 2003 through December 2004, the state created 65,000 jobs, placing it among the nation's job-creation leaders, the state Department of Economic Security reported Thursday. But for a state that was adding more than 100,000 jobs a year in the late 1990s and still in need of knowledge-industry jobs, last year's figure simply was insufficient.

PHOENIX Arizona gained nearly 65-thousand jobs during the year, putting us amoung the top ten states in the nation for job creation in 2004.

According to figures released from the state Department of Economic Security, that's a 2-point-8 percent increase.

Construction, education and health services have driven the state's job growth, accounting for more than 50 percent of the new jobs here.

Earlier this month, the federal government reported that the nation added 2-point-2 (m) million jobs last year -- an increase of 1-point-7 percent.
