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%).
What is the passage mainly about?
选项
A、Arizona’ s ups and downs in employment fields.
B、Arizona, Texas head list of best states for expected job growth.
C、Arizona is the best state for economic growth.
D、Arizona enjoyed its economic and projected job growth after recession.
答案
B
解析
根据题干关键词纵观全文。全文都在围绕亚利桑那州的就业形势展开话题,其就业增长速度之快在美国各州中都非常显著,故B项“美国就业前景最好的州:亚利桑那州,得克萨斯州”为正确答案。A项“亚利桑那州在就业领域起起伏伏”不符合文章的主基调,C项“亚利桑那州是美国经济前景最好的州”错在没有把中心放在“就业”方面,D项“亚利桑那州享受经济大萧条后的经济和就业增长”违背了其在大萧条后2009年、2010年经济放缓的事实,故排除。
