Hope you like ridiculous heat. In the summer, it's always >100 degrees, even at night.

As for industry, I know Intel has a big presence. PHX is the headquarters for US Air. Primarily the economy is driven by real estate and retail.

It is also the most sprawling city area I have ever been seen. The actual city of Phoenix is only a small part of what is really a giant mega-city. You have to drive everywhere, the traffic is bad pretty much all the time, and the drivers are hyper aggressive.

That being said, it's not bad at this time of the year; the weather is nice now, and the dry climate somewhat compensates for the heat. If you like big cities, driving, etc. then you might like it.

all i know is it gets real hot there in the summer
