Phoenix MSA job growth is forecast to return to 1.6% in 2026 after decelerating to 0.9% in 2025. Job growth across Phoenix and the broader state has been driven by private education and health services. The health care industry added 19,500 new workers over the past year, representing nearly a third of all net new jobs in the region. Healthcare is now the second-largest industry in Greater Phoenix, growing from 8% of the economy to more than 14% since the Great Recession.
Arizona added 97,044 residents between July 2024 and July 2025, representing a growth rate of 1.2%. Between 2023 and 2024, Maricopa County ranked first in the nation for net migration. This population expansion correlates with increased demand for group medical coverage and ancillary/voluntary benefits administration across the employer base.
Since 2020, Arizona has won more than 40 semiconductor expansions representing over $102 billion in capital investment and over 15,700 direct industry jobs. The semiconductor industry now contributes more than 140,000 jobs statewide. These large-scale manufacturing operations create demand for benefits professionals who can support complex plan structures including self-funded arrangements and stop-loss coverage.
Greater Phoenix ended 2024 with total nonfarm employment just above 2.5 million. Health Care and Social Assistance is projected to record 2.8% annualized growth through Q2 2026.
