This was nearly double the volume from 2019 and a 125 percent jump from 2020. These metrics are driven by Phoenix’s primary economic drivers of nation-leading population and job growth. As of October, Phoenix was one of only four U.S. metros to recover 100 percent of the jobs the region lost during the pandemic. This was driven by the stable recovery of long-established industries and growing sectors that are diversifying the region’s employment base.
