Arizona Economy

About half of Alabama

Manufacturing is Arizonas leading economic activity. The state produces electronics, published materials, processed foods and items for the aerospace and transportation industries. In this rapidly growing state, construction, communications, and technology are important contributors to the economy.

Service industries continue to grow along with the tourist trade. Large numbers of visitors come each year to enjoy Arizonas warm climate, and unique natural features including the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, Monument Valley, and meteor craters. Ancient Native American ruins and Indian reservations also attract many tourists. National and State forests are popular vacation spots for millions of visitors each year.

The mineral wealth of Arizona is great. The state leads the nation in the production of copper. Sand and gravel are also important resources. Less plentiful but valuable minerals mined in Arizona include gold, lead, silver, stone, zinc, and uranium.

Mild winters contribute to a productive farming industry. Arizona supplies fruits and vegetables for markets in colder parts of the United States. Principal crops include lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, and sorghum. But dairy items and cattle are Arizonas most valuable agricultural products.
