The Arizona Daily Star recently put out its "Star 200" publication, which lists the top major employers in Tucson. Since so many Tucson home buyers come from out of state I thought I'd include some of the information about who's doing well and who's not.
Looking at the list of top Tucson employers, Raytheon Missile Systems ranked in at number one. Raytheon reported 12,515 full time employees at the end of 2007; an additional 1,331 FTE over 2006. Their payroll was $952 million.
State of Arizona came in second with 10,754 full time employees, an increase of 827 FTE. Their payroll was unavailable.
University of Arizona ranked third with 10,535 FTE, an addition of FTE over 2006. U of A's reported payroll was $181 million.
Number four is Tucson Unified School District who reported 8,018 full time employees.
