Phoenix's job market presents a dynamic landscape influenced by various sectors. Major employers include Amkor, Nestlé, and Amazon, which are expanding operations in the metro area. The demand for skilled workers is high, particularly in the semiconductor and advanced manufacturing industries. However, a skills gap exists, with a need for more awareness about careers in these fields.

The city's focus on the semiconductor industry has created over 100,000 new jobs, contributing significantly to the local economy. The Phoenix Bioscience Core is another key area, supporting emerging health and life science companies with mentorship and resources.
Recent developments include the hosting of SEMICON West 2025 in Phoenix, which highlighted Arizona's growth as a microelectronics hub. As for current job openings, positions such as Account Representative for Medicare products and Freight Forwarder roles are available. The government has initiated programs like the Arizona Board of Regents' AZ Opportunity initiative to align education with workforce needs.
Key findings include the importance of education and training in bridging the skills gap, significant growth in the semiconductor sector, and the role of public universities in driving innovation.
