Has the Construction market in AZ fully recovered from the 2008-2009-2010 crash? If you’re like us, you’re likely out and about, talking to clients and connections constantly. Almost everyone replies, “Busy!” when asked how things are going.
Many of our clients are experiencing record-setting years, again and again. Does that mean we’re at a level of activity similar to the peak of 2005-2007?
Anecdotal statements of “Busy!” aren’t going to cut it for the data geeks like us, however. Using a combination of sales tax data and employment data from the state, we can get a much more accurate picture of the current level of construction activity in Arizona.
