PHOENIX -- The biggest share of jobs Arizona will create in the next two years will be in positions that don't require even a high school diploma.
New figures Thursday from the state Department of Administration show that sector of the economy will increase by more than 6.6 percent. And the second biggest boost in Arizona employment will be in jobs for which only a high school diploma is required.
By contrast, the jobs for which a bachelor's or master's degree will be required will grow by less than 5.2 percent. And those who went back for a doctoral degree will find just a 4.2 percent increase in available jobs.
But Daniel Scarpinato, press aide to Gov. Doug Ducey, who has committed to growing the economy and creating high-wage jobs, said the numbers are not necessarily bad news.
