    ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY September 1974 An Employment Security Publication PREFACE The purpose and objective of this semiannual publication is to provide useful economic and manpower information on the Phoenix Area (Maricopa County) to business and government decision-makers, and to the general public. This report covers developments for the area as a whole, and for specific sections within the area. Your cornments and suggestions are invited so that we may make any improvements that our readers feel are essential. Letters and comments may be addressed to: Phoenix Area Manpower Review, Research and Statistics Bureau, P.O. Box 6l23, Phoenix, Arizona 85005. ' .} HIGHLIGHTS Since the 1970 census, Maricopa County's population has increased by 21% to an estimated 1,173,000. (See Pages 2 and 27.) The Phoenix area civilian labor force reached 503,600 in July; the labor force participation rate declined for the first time in 12 years. (See Pages 5 and 26.) Manufacturing and trade industries continue as the area's major employers, ac­ counting for nearly half the total nonagricultural wage and salary employment. (See Pages 5 and 6.) Federal Manpower programs are being decentralized and decategorized under the recently enacted Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). As of this date, almost $9,700,000 has been granted to Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix, (See Pages 7 and 8,) The economic outlook for the Phoenix area calls for a continued slow upward move­ ment for the rest of the year. (See Page 11.) Twenty-two building business activities announced or started during the first six months of 1974 are listed on Page 12.

Pollack & Company has been retained to provide an economic evaluation of the development potential of the area surrounding Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa, Arizona. The study area that is the focus of this analysis is referred to as the Land Use Evaluation Area and includes approximately 33 square miles of land. Because of its large scale, the implementation of a successful development plan will be of benefit not just to the City of Mesa residents, but to the broader region as well. Analytical Framework This analysis begins with a macroeconomic assessment of the overall commercial real estate market in Metro Phoenix. The study then narrows in focus and includes an evaluation of recently released population and employment projections from the Maricopa Association of Governments on the more proximate region. This analysis concludes with the development of alternative scenarios of growth in the Southeast Valley and, more specifically, to the market area surrounding Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.
