Arizona’s seasonally adjusted unem-ployment
rate was 3.5 percent in
October. Nationally, the seasonally
adjusted unemployment rate was un-changed
at 4.7 percent.
Despite a slowing economy, the state
set a new record for nonfarm jobs
(2,737,500) last month. The service-providing
industries added 9,300 jobs
while the goods-producing cluster
lost 4,300 nonfarm jobs. Goods-producing
industries were below
their average monthly growth rates
during the previous two months.
And the slowing in the over-the-year
growth rate (1.7 percent) was more
pronounced. The same rate was 5.3
percent one year ago.
Six of 11 major industries gained
jobs, four had losses and one re-mained
flat. Two of 11 major
industries – educational and health
services, and government – reached
new records.
Government gained 4,200 jobs
largely in local education. Within
government, local education in-creased
by 3,200 jobs; state govern-ment
added 1,400, largely due to the
Arizona State Fair. Federal govern-ment
lost 400 jobs.
Professional and business services
pared 600 jobs. Within this sector,
employment services lost 1,300 jobs.
Professional, scientific and technical
services gained 700.
Leisure and hospitality added 2,300
jobs in October, continuing to gain
jobs after summer losses, although
the over-the-month percentage
growth rate remained below average.
Accommodation and food services
added 1,800 of these jobs. Food ser-vices
and drinking places added
1,000 jobs.
Educational and health services
posted a gain of 1,200 jobs to arrive
at a record employment level of
304,800. The majority of the job
gains were in health care and social
assistance (+1,000). All reported
major sectors for this industry had
gains.
Although construction was little
changed at the national level, in
Arizona construction showed a wide-spread
decline of 4,100 jobs – the
largest decline among the goods-producing
industries with losses re-corded
in all reported major subsec-tors.
Construction of buildings was
down 900; heavy construction, 200;
and specialty trades, 3,000. Con-struction
has pared nearly 19,000
jobs since October 2006.
Other services had a decrease of 300
jobs, which dropped the industry
below its record employment level
set in September.
Financial activities was unchanged
in October. Finance and insurance
(where the mortgage industry is
Arizona Workforce Employment Report Page 2
continued on page 3
located) lost 300 jobs, while real
estate and rental and leasing gained
300. Financial activities as whole
has remained at the same employ-ment
level for the last three months.
Manufacturing experienced a de-crease
of 300 jobs in October. Dura-ble
goods manufacturing was down
by 300 while nondurable goods
manufacturing remained flat. In
durable goods, fabricated metal and
computer and electronic parts were
each down by 100 jobs. The aero-space
products and parts sector was
flat.
Information grew by 200 jobs state-wide.
Natural resources and mining con-tinued
a steady pattern of job growth
by adding 100 jobs. The industry has
continued to show growth throughout
2007.
Trade, transportation and utilities
added 2,300 jobs. Similar to
September, trade was below its 10-
year average monthly gain. Retail
trade was responsible for most
of the increase in jobs with a gain
of 1,700. Retail trade’s increase
was due to the opening of several
new shopping centers and retailers,
and not necessarily increased hiring
among existing retailers. The motor
vehicle and parts dealers sector lost
300 jobs, and the building material
and garden equipment dealers lost
100. The furniture and home fur-nishing
stores sector lost 100 jobs.
This sector has shown below-average
growth for the last three months. Air
transportation was down by 100.
In conclusion, Arizona’s economy
continued to grow in October, though
at a much slower pace than earlier in
the year and especially one year ago.
An overall gain of 5,000 jobs oc-curred
in the month, which pushed
Arizona’s nonfarm job levels to a
new record high (2,737,500). Octo-ber
figures suggest that the industries
to watch as we approach the holiday
season are retail trade and transporta-tion,
which are already showing the
effects of consumers and businesses
grappling with a slowing economy
and concerns about rising fuel costs.

Under Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI & VII), and the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990 (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975,
the Department prohibits discrimination in admissions, programs, services, activities, or employment based on
race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, and disability. The Department must make a reasonable accom-modation
to allow a person with a disability to take part in a program, service or activity. For example, this
means if necessary, the Department must provide sign language interpreters for people who are deaf, a wheel-chair
accessible location, or enlarged print materials. It also means that the Department will take any other rea-sonable
action that allows you to take part in and understand a program or activity, including making reason-able
changes to an activity. If you believe that you will not be able to understand or take part in a program or
activity because of your disability, please let us know of your disability needs in advance if at all possible. To
request this document in alternative format or for further information about this policy, contact the Division of
Employee Services and Support (DESS) ADA Coordinator at 602-229-2811; TTY/TDD Services: 7-1-1.
