Economist Pollack said Pinal has been the “star of the state in terms of economic recovery”
By Jake Kincaid | Pinal Central
Economic analyst Elliott Pollack predicts that growth and expansion will continue in Pinal County.
Pollack gave his annual economic forecast at a Pinal Partnership breakfast Friday at Rawhide, saying that he is more optimistic than he has been in a long time.
While the recovery from the recession of a decade ago has been the slowest in U.S. history, Pinal County has fared well when compared to the rest of the state, which is now 13th out of 50 in terms of growth and continues to expand. Pinal County has had long-term growth of 3.2 percent and 2 percent short-term growth, which is better than most places in the state. Pinal also continues to have stronger population growth than most of the state, including Maricopa County.
