Arizona’s residential-building permits have fallen by over 70% since t he height of the construction boom. You would think that the overall unemployment rate would more closely reflect those building job losses and that the jobless rate would be worse. Some sectors of the Arizona economy must be doing well to compensate.

Low unemployment is good especially with way the economy is now. My wife has family in Phoenix and they always are trying to convince her that we should move down there because there is a lot of job opportunities, so they claim.

Yeah i agree you can’t really gauge the economic situation by purely watching the unemployment rate. Although it does to a certain degree, is affected by the economy, various other factors are involved.
