The Valley’s metropolitan area is one of the top five in the nation for forecasted job growth in the fourth quarter of 2012.  24% of companies interviewed plan to hire in 4Q2012.  Another 66% plan to maintain workforce levels.  The upward movement may indicate stability for the area.

“It is an encouraging sign given fourth quarter is when organizations typically tighten their belts,” “We continue to have businesses looking and forecasting to increase staff. That gives us some correlation that their business is growing or expanding. That’s always a positive sign as we’re ending a year to give an indication of what 2013 may look like.”

They have a little more faith in the future and they have more faith about what’s going on in the East Valley and Mesa,” Smith said.

The mayor pointed to the growth around Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, as well as the four colleges and universities opening in downtown Mesa. Able Engineering will bring 400 jobs to the Gateway area next year. Crescent Crown Distributing opened in Mesa this year with plans for several hundred jobs.

Research professor Lee McPheters of the W.P. Carey School of Business at ASU, said while the rest of the country should see a 1.5% rise in job growth this year, the Valley’s metropolitan area to see a +2.5%. I think it’s accurate to say we’re doing better here than most other areas,” McPheters said.
