Right To Work

Tired of joining labor unions and paying membership fees? Well, in Phoenix and in the rest of Arizona, you have the right not to join such an association and as you decline membership in a labor union, you cannot be compelled to join. Arizona is a right to work state and its constitution states that “No person shall be denied the opportunity to obtain or retain employment because of non-membership in a labor organization, nor shall the State or any subdivision thereof, or any corporation, individual or association of any kind enter into any agreement, written or oral, which excludes any person from employment or continuation of employment because of non-membership in a labor organization.” (Article XXV).

Hospital jobs in Phoenix and elsewhere in Arizona are for keeps. No one can take them away from you.

However, the unemployment rate of the Phoenix metropolitan area is at 7.2, ranking at 150th among 371 metropolitan areas and 21st among 49 large metropolitan areas in the country. Yes, that's lower than the national average. Other areas in Arizona also posted not so high unemployment rate: The Tuscon metropolitan area registers 7.5% and the Flagstaff metropolitan area at 8.0%.

But other urban centers might not be good places to find jobs, specifically hospital jobs in Arizona. Who would want to look for jobs in the Prescott metropolitan area which unemployment rate is at 8.6%, Lake Havasu City-Kingman metropolitan area at 10% and Yuma metropolitan area at 31.8%, which happens to be the highest? If you are looking to move in to the state, you know where to look for hospital employment.
