    Metadata Updated: February 7, 2026

    Tempe is among Arizona's most educated cities, lending to a creative, smart atmosphere. With more than a dozen colleges, trade schools, and universities, about 40 percent of our residents over the age of 25 have Bachelor's degrees or higher. Having such an educated and accessible workforce is a driving factor in attracting and growing jobs for residents in the region.

    The City of Tempe is a member of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC), and with the membership, staff tracks collaborative efforts to recruit business prospects and locations.

GPEC partners with the City of Tempe, Maricopa County, 22 other communities, and more than 170 private-sector investors to promote the region’s competitive position and attract quality jobs that enable strategic economic growth and provide increased tax revenue for Tempe.
