To many people looking in from the outside, Peoria is your typical Arizona suburb. Not much is to really be seen here aside from historic properties and maybe a couple of famous people. So it goes without saying that most people also think Peoria doesn’t have all that many jobs available. That couldn’t be further from the case, however. This large suburb actually has a tremendous amount of opportunity to both find and make work. So let’s go over some of those. Sports Business Peoria has always been a hub of sports activity in the Phoenix area. After all, a stadium can more easily be set up outside of city limits. So it goes without saying that if you have an interest in athletics, especially baseball, Peoria has a ton of opportunities both on the entry level and higher up. Both the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres keep offices here full-time as well as training facilities for players in their farming system. Baseball business is big business and if you have a knack for talent or just want to see free games, look at the sports complexes starting off. Solar Power Peoria is the fifth fastest growing city in the United States and we are confident a big part of that is the Maricopa solar power plant that was set up here in 2010. It is one of the first full-time solar power facilities in the country and generated thousands of jobs for Peoria residents. Startups Aplenty The power plant has also attracted a number of startup businesses specializing in alternative energy and green solutions. Peoria is home to a large concentration of startup tech companies as well as other small businesses for more general goods like clothes. So if you are an entrepreneur, there is no better place in the area to set up shop as it can create valuable networking opportunities. Peoria is indeed one of the nicest places to live in the Phoenix area and it is only going to get better. So if you have some great idea or want to take part in something big, be sure to look here first before turning to Phoenix. You will not regret it.
