Prior to the 2020, there were nearly 10,000 Arizona restaurants.

Arizona’s Economic Outlook

Arizona is one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S. Its population has increased by nearly 30% since 2000 and shows no signs of slowing down. This population growth is largely due to retirees moving to Arizona for its warm weather and low cost of living. In fact, Arizona is one of the top destination states for retirees.

Additionally, Arizona’s job market is strong and has been steadily growing. The state’s unemployment rate was 6.1% in 2021, but is forecasted to decrease through 2024. The state of Arizona was also in the top 10 list of states with the best workforce in 2021 and 2022.

The state expects the population to continue growing by an additional 100,000+ residents each year through 2024.
