The City of Chandler has been touted as having the fastest growing labor base in Metro Phoenix, which should bode well for the several speculative office projects that recently broke ground in Chandler. It should also help Chandler’s continued mission to bring more high-wage jobs to the city.
Chandler has historically been known for attracting innovative technology companies like Intel, which employs 11,000 workers and eventually led to the relocation of other companies nearby such as NXP and Microchip, says City of Chandler Economic Development Director James Smith, but the city’s largest growth industry over the last 6-7 years has been financial services.
