Arizona’s Budget Improving
21
• The budget is balanced! (but down 21% from FY2008)
• FY2010 was the bottom of the recession when revenues fell below FY2004 level
• Arizona now has six straight quarters of general fund revenue growth
• While revenue recovery has begun, it is difficult to forecast its speed due to the uncertain economy
• Short-term surpluses:– 2012 - $416m– 2013 - $143m– 2014 - $610m to $1.2b shortfall (1% temporary sales tax expires)

Arizona’s PopulationCensus 2010
• Arizona was the second fastest growing state between 2000 and 2010 (24.6%). Nevada was first (35.1%)
• Total population of 6,392,017 – but less than 2009 projection
• Hispanic population grew 46.3% from 2000-2010
• Greater Phoenix has the 6th most Hispanics of all cities in U.S. with 589,877

• “Cultural generation gap” of 40%
23
24
• Excess supply of homes – 70,000 in Greater Phoenix alone
• Home prices down over 50% - to late ‘90s levels
• Arizona is one of the worst performing states for mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures
• New home construction has all but ceased
• Commercial real estate market is hurting
• Market will not recover until household formation and jobs return
• On the positive side - housing is now much more affordable, and interest rates are at historic lows
Arizona Won’t Truly Recover Until Housing Improves
Downside• Weak job market• Incomes and wages are lagging• Housing fundamentals are poor• Public sector employment and population
growth will be a drag on the Economy• Population Mobility must Improve to Absorb
Excess Housing Stock and Build New Homes
Upside• Hiring is Up• Retail Sales are Up• State Budget is Balanced – For Now
Outlook and Summary

Implications for MCCCD
26
• For MCCCD, the recession is a double-edged sword– Enrollment is up
– But fewer resources are available
• District needs to look at new revenue streams– Alternative delivery– Contract training– Alleviate structural unemployment (jobs mismatch)– Underserved and emerging populations
• Short-term – Slow population and economic growth, little help from state
• Long-term - Arizona is projected to add 1.8m new jobs in the next 30 years. Many will be in Maricopa County. MCCCD will play a vital role in training
