Observations About Arizona's Top 100 Company List

Business reporter Joe Talton from the Arizona Republic makes some interesting and useful observations about Arizona's top 100 company list. Go here to read the article. Here is one interesting observation:

"Wal-Mart and Honeywell, the two top employers on the Republic 100, illuminate two Arizonas. One is the huge service sector, with jobs that often lack full-time security or affordable health insurance. This pushes huge costs onto the public when these workers need health care. Honeywell is an icon of the defense and technology industry that took root here in the 1950s, providing the best jobs. This sector isn't growing and in some cases is shrinking."
