Arizona Base Industries
• Based on both tradability and disproportionate size, many of the driving activities in Arizona can be grouped into one of three clusters: tourism and seasonal residents, high-technology manufacturing and associated wholesale trade, and call centers and back-office operations. A number of other activities that do not fit into one of these categories, such as copper mining, also help drive the state’s economy.
![Page 6: Workforce and Economic Development October 2012 Dennis.Hoffman@asu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56812a8c550346895d8e34ca/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Base Industries cont.
• Each of these clusters is important in the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas, though the specific leading industries within these categories vary between the two metro areas. In the balance of the state taken as a whole, only the tourism and seasonal residents cluster is a significant economic driver. Agriculture, mining, and government (particularly the federal government) are among the economic drivers in Arizona outside of the two major metro areas. Government also is important in the Tucson area, mostly due to the large size of the University of Arizona.

So what is important to attracting and retaining base Industries?
• Export based industries face pressures from businesses located anywhere on the planet. Their goal is to maximize profits and create positive returns on investments of capital.

Factors driving base industry migration
• Quality and depth of workforce• Quality of transportation Infrastructure that
allows the flow of resources in and products out in an efficient timely manner
• Quality of the energy, communications, and education infrastructure and programs
• Importance of Place, Moretti• Tax and Regulatory Policy

The buzz around Technology
• Knowledge Economy Pursuits• Our AZ Tech Report– Wages and signals– Mobility vs. pressure for local production– Competing with globalization and productivity– Matching tech workers with tech jobs
• Milken Report– 3 conclusions

Milken 1
For many years, Arizona enjoyed the Sun Belt boom. Drawnby relatively low costs and a high standard of living, newresidents flocked to the state from all over the country.Arizona experienced growth not only in housing, but also inmany high-tech fields. But the latest downturn has vividlydemonstrated that unfocused growth is not the path tostable long-term prosperity. Like the rest of the country,Arizona is confronting tough choices as it navigates a seriousrecession.

Milken 2To be clear, Arizona has pivotal resources with which to pursue more aggressive technology-based development.
It is hometo three large research universities (Arizona State University,the University of Arizona, and Northern ArizonaUniversity) and several mature high-tech industries.The state also has in place organizations dedicatedto promoting technology growth, such as ScienceFoundation Arizona, and boasts a unique abilityto attract businesses and talent from aroundthe country.

In order to compete on a national level—as well as withkey Western rivals such as Colorado, Utah, New Mexico,and Oregon—the state will need to supply the missingpieces of the puzzle: a deeper pool of skilled, educatedworkers; sufficient capital to fund research and expansionby entrepreneurs; and state-level leadership that is informedand committed to implementing well-considered, long-rangedevelopment strategies.
