Next year is supposed to bring slight improvement to Arizona’s job growth, population gains and construction, though the recovery will remain slow by the state’s historical standards, economists said Wednesday.
Lee McPheters, director of the JPMorgan Chase Economic Outlook Center at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, predicted the state will add a net 65,000 jobs in 2015, enough for 2.5 percent growth. By comparison, Arizona is on track for about 2 percent job growth this year, the same level it has had for the two years before that.
