Still going strong, the Arizona economy added large numbers of new jobs and residents last year. Nominal taxable retail sales expanded slowly, while personal income growth decelerated. Single-family permits increased significantly last year but housing affordability remained low. The labor market remains very tight, with low unemployment, while employment cost growth slowed as job churn lost momentum.

Where are the global, national, state, and local economies headed next? How will tariffsdeportations, and federal layoffs impact the U.S. and Arizona? Will interest rates trend down or spike up? When will housing affordability improve?  Is inflation headed for another big surge? Will stock prices surge or melt down?
