The Great Recession had devastating effects across the U.S. and few places were as hard hit as Arizona. The state was booming on the strength of its tourism and real estate markets during the 2000s. Median home prices jumped 70% between 2003 and 2006—only Nevada had bigger gains— fueling more building and construction jobs. Monthly unemployment was at 3.5% through much of 2007. But then
the bottom fell out
. Unemployment stubbornly remained in double-figures for most of 2009 and 2010 and only Nevada lost a higher percentage of jobs over the last five years. Household incomes declined at the fastest rate in the country since 2008.
But the economic picture has brightened considerably in Arizona, as the housing market stabilized and unemployment hit a post-recession low of 7.8% in May. As part of Forbes’ annual Best States for Business, we look at 35 factors to determine the best and worst states, including projected employment. Arizona is expected to have the fastest job growth at 3% annually over the next five years, according to Moody’s Analytics. The job gains are projected to boost household incomes 3.6% annually through 2017, which ranks second best in the U.S. after Illinois. The added jobs also go hand-in-hand with the state’s economic growth, which Moody’s forecasts to expand at a U.S.-best 4.6% annually.
The big winners over the past year in Arizona were the construction and leisure / hospitality industries, which both added more than 10, 000 jobs. Other fast-growing sectors include business services, financial activities and education and health services.
In addition to a large, educated workforce to choose from, companies are also attracted to Arizona’ s pro-business regulatory climate, which ranks No. 13 in the Mercatus Center’ s Freedom in the 50 States. The study cites Arizona’s right-to-work law, liability laws and
eminent domain
reform.
Texas was one of the first states to emerge from the recession and it continues to attract companies on the basis of its low tax burden, predictable regulatory environment and skilled labor force. Texas employment is expected to expand 3% annually through 2017, according to Moody’ s.
Western states dominate the best states for projected job growth. Only two, Florida and Georgia, of the top 10 are located east of the Mississippi River. Rounding out the top five are Colorado(2.6% annual projected growth), North Dakota(2.5%)and Florida(2.5%).
Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 1?
选项
A、Arizona was hit worst in the Great Recession.
B、Arizona’ s home prices are next to Nevada’ s.
C、Arizona’ s unemployment rate was lower than Nevada over the last five years.
D、Arizona had a fastest household income decline.
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第一段。根据倒数第二句“在2009年和2010年的大部分时间里,该州(亚利桑那州)的失业率保持在两位数居高不下,从最近五年的失业率情况看,恶劣程度仅次于内华达州”,C项的表述与此句一致,故为正确答案。首句提到“很少有地区像亚利桑那州那样遭受重创”,但该州并不是最严重的,故排除A项。B项比较的对象应该是增幅,而非价格。D项所指的州是内华达州,故不选此项。
