Arizona Center for Economic Progress

Phoenix, AZ

The Arizona Center for Economic Progress advances thoughtful analysis and effective policy solutions to shape a better future for every Arizonan through quality jobs, great education, and stronger communities.


We bring together the voices and knowledge of people from throughout Arizona — millennials and seniors, employers and educators, entrepreneurs and rural leaders, arts advocates and business leaders — to advocate for a long term vision that will raise the economic power of all Arizonans.

We have four key priorities for empowering all Arizonans with better jobs and economic opportunities:

  1. Quality public schools in every neighborhood;
  2. Affordable and accessible post-secondary education and job training opportunities;
  3. Eliminate barriers to joining the workforce;
  4. Robust infrastructure and sustainable communities that support our growing population
