Phoenix debatably has the best preforming economy in the US right now. There’s no trash to talk.

Not even close. According to this, it has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. Keep in mind, this was before the Coronavirus outbreak.

Monterey County is currently working on a commuter rail to the Bay Area to alleviate the horrendously terrible traffic which requires going over a mountain pass that actually snows from time to time!

Nice shot. I remember that road well from my younger years growing up in Los Gatos. Thanks for sharing.

High job growth, yet higher than average unemployment. Wonder if that means a lot of people are moving to Phoenix without jobs lined up.

But then again, if that was the case, why does cities like Austin, Dallas, SF Bay Area, Atlanta, etc have low unemployment rates with high job growth?

Let's also remember the square milage difference in both MSA's. I welcome the growth in metro Atlanta, hopefully it has an affect on that state politically.
Historically Atlanta has grown more and I feel the early 2010s growth in DC was just a recession bump, a recession that hit Atlanta especially hard.

Really shouldn't be because since 1992, Harris County has had positive domestic growth only 7 times and 5 of those after 2010.

I'm surprised at that unemployment rate for Phoenix. Seems strange considering the phenomenal job and population growth. Like some numbers haven't caught up.

I know it's growing in finance, insurance, healthcare, and tech.

Forbes article on Phoenix growth:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/brendar.../#7496b1f4443e


Recent article shows Phoenix as #6 in the top 10 cities for tech job growth.

https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/3/3/...gital-services

Metro areas with the biggest change in tech job share, 2010-2018

1. San Fransisco
2. San Jose
3. Austin
4. Seattle
5. Denver
6. Phoenix
7. Charlotte
8. Dallas
9. Madison
10. Provo

Yea I fully expect Atlanta to keep moving up the ranks by MSA. We'll see where it ends up.

I pulled them from the spreadsheet under annual population estimates for CSA's.

Now that we approaching the decennial census I don't see any reason why these metro areas need to continue being separate:

San Francisco, San Jose, and Vallejo
Atlanta and Gainsville
Raleigh and Durham
Greensboro and Winston-Salem
