    The Arizona Construction sector dropped 3,700 jobs in December, making it the sector with the second greatest losses for the month.

    Arizona’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 3.8%, according to the latest report published by the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity. The November rate was 3.7%.

    The national unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, down from 4.2%. In December 2023, Arizona had a seasonally adjusted rate of 4.2%. The national rate was 3.7%.

    Arizona had a not-seasonally adjusted loss of 300 nonfarm employment jobs month-over-month. “Prior to the pandemic (2010-2019), NSA nonfarm employment gained 5,600 jobs on average in December,” the report states.

    The private sector gained 4,500 jobs over the month, led by Trade, Transportation & Utilities with 5,000 new jobs and Other Services with 1,400. Health Care and Social Assistance gained 800. Closely related to Construction, Natural Resources and Mining gained 100.

    Construction Employment

    Statewide construction employment totals 215,100 jobs. In December 2023, the sector reported 218,100.

    The Arizona Construction sector features three major segments: Buildings, Heavy, and Specialty Trades. There are currently 51,200 jobs in Buildings, which is down 1,200 from November and up 5,400 from December 2023. Heavy Construction lost 100 for the month for 25,900 and gained 100 over the year.
