These stories augment data showcasing strong performance despite the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic downturn. The number of tech jobs in Arizona continued to rise — up 1.2% in the third quarter over the second. Wages rose, too, by 2.7% in the third quarter over the second.
Strong performance in the tech industry is not surprising, given how the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to rely on technology more than ever. Hopefully, this strength will continue even as the significant headwinds persist.
