In the Tucson region, the federal government employment consists primarily of jobs at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and at the U.S. Border Patrol. The federal government also maintains a local presence with the federal courthouse and FBI. The growing presence of the federal government in Tucson supports the nation's national defense posture, homeland security strategy, and illegal immigration policies.
State government employment is dominated by The University of Arizona. State administrative and educational functions account for much of the remaining employment in this sector. Over one-half of local government employment is related to education. Other local government employment is composed of law enforcement and administration.
Economic development is a regional effort and TREO's regional economic development partners are committed to this effort.
