 Tempe offers one of the most diverse
business communities in the country, with a variety of categories
well-represented within this community. Tempe also provides a high density
of business within the city, creating a solid job corridor within the
community that offers enough jobs for Tempe residents as well as those from
surrounding cities.
One of Tempe’s targeted business areas is advanced business services,
including investment banking, data centers, credit, mortgage sales and the
like. These businesses are imperative to keep a community like Tempe
well-oiled, as Tempe has more jobs than residents.
There are more than 3,000 finance, insurance and real estate companies and
more than another 7,200 service-based advanced business service companies in
the metropolitan area bringing in a payroll of $7,468,400. The average
employee makes more than $53,000 annually, according to Dunn and Bradstreet.
Top advanced business services providers in Tempe include the regional
headquarters for Chase Manhattan Bank, the headquarters for Edward Jones and
Wells Fargo Loan Services.
Tempe offers not only high density of businesses but also more than 30 miles
of fiber optic cable running throughout the community to keep companies
moving as fast as possible electronically.
Easy accessibility to freeways and Sky Harbor International Airport make
Tempe a natural choice for any business that travels regionally or
internationally. Also, Arizona State University, located in the heart of
Tempe, provides a steady stream of educated employees, both graduates and
students.
