    Arizona’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased to 3.4% in April, down from 3.5% in March, according to the latest report published by the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity.

    Statewide construction employment totals 197,900 jobs, which increased by 1,900 from March. In March 2022 the sector reported 191,800. 

    The Arizona Construction sector features three major segments: Buildings, Heavy, and Specialty Trades. There are currently 42,900 jobs in Buildings, which is up 300 from March and up 2,400 from April 2022. Heavy Construction gained 100 over the month for a total of 22,500 and 700 over the year.
