Job Center Analysis The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) projects population and

employment for Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) in Maricopa County, Arizona,

primarily for regional transportation planning. There are many databases created

for that process, including a Major Employer Database that contains 70% of all

wage and salary jobs in the county, and estimates of total jobs by TAZ.

Additionally, MAG compiles a �regional composite� of local general plans. There

are new state laws that require all communities to update their general plan every

ten years, beginning in 2001. Significant land use changes have resulted.

This year, MAG applied many of these databases to economic development in

the region. MAG planning and economic development directors identified their

community job centers. As a result, MAG has compiled a �regional composite� of job centers in the region.

The maps on this poster depict the methods utilized in identifying and analyzing

existing and future job centers in the MAG region. The Major Employer

Database was geocoded and stratified by employment type and number of

employees. An analysis of future employment at build out was also conducted

using the MAG Sub-area Allocation Model (SAM-IM). A neighborhood grid

analysis depicting employment averaged across a one-mile radius is shown here.

The job centers were analyzed utilizing the land use data at MAG (existing land

use, general plans, and known future developments) and the travel times to job

centers were derived from the transportation models.

Next Steps

This analysis will help with two of the major regional planning efforts that are

currently underway in Metro Phoenix.

First, Metro Phoenix�s regional economic development agency is developing and

implementing an economic development strategy that focuses on high quality

industry clusters. MAG is providing an industry cluster profile and competitive

economic development site factor profiles for each community�s job centers. The

regional economic development strategy will have a geographic component, so

that each MAG member agency can develop and implement a community

economic development strategy.

Second, MAG is preparing a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) for 2030. In

1960, a similar long-range plan was developed that formed the basis of the

freeway system that will be completed in 2007. Through this job center analysis,

MAG will identify regional job centers that will help indicate the spatial distribution

of socioeconomic variables in the future and the transportation connectivity

required for the RTP.

Other employment includes work-at-home and construction employment. Because construction employment follows development,

employment projections may show declines in future years.
