Tucson Business and Employment..how is Tucson seen in the US

 

Many  people thinking about a possible recession and also the job market in Tucson,  ask us what is Tucson known for in the way of employment.

Most people relocating to the area also want to know what are the top employers, and  what kind of job growth are we seeing. 

Apart from our big employers such as Raytheon, the University  of Arizona,  and Davis Monthan Airforce base, there are new sources of employment coming to Tucson.

Last year we rented one of our houses to Solon a Solar power company that employs people from around the world to research  and make solar alternative forms of power.

I just however read some news that Tucson has been singled out as a city  as one of the "rising biotechnology star" cities in  the US.

This has been reaffirmed  with the expansion of the bio sciences sector  and  programs such as the Technology Research Initiative Fund and the the Bio5 Institute at the University of Arizona.

We recently showed homes to someone that will be working at the  planned Arizona Bio Science Park.

The new article also mentioned  a recent $50 million grant from the National Science Foundation for Bio5's iPlant Collaborative. This Foundation  will design computer infrastructure for plant scientists.

 

Looks like Tucson is on the map!
