Arizona is expected to add jobs at a lower rate between now and 2024 than it has since the end of the recession.
Total employment should grow by about 580,000 over an 11-year study period starting with 2014, said Doug Walls, research administrator for the state Office of Economic Opportunity.
He said that translates to about a 1.9 percent annual growth.
By contrast, the state has seen a 2.3 percent growth rate annually since the recession ended.
