The Business Journal of Phoenix reported on a survey by Expansion Management Magazine.  Phoenix is ranked highest amongst large metro areas as, "the best place for recruitment and attraction".  Arizona ranked as the top state, but Maricopa county as a whole was 4th, behind Charlotte, Fort Myers, FL., and Austin, Texas.

What this means for Phoenix is more jobs as companies move here.  More quality jobs means better opportunities for residents and a better standard of living.
