Careers in Transportation

Transportation, distribution, and logistics is a broad industry sector responsible for managing the flow of goods, information, and people between a point of origin and a point of consumption in order to meet the requirements of consumers.

In Greater Phoenix, employment concentration is comparable to the nation as a whole, as the region’s population growth, proximity to western markets, and presence of large industry employers such as Knight and Swift Transportation and Sky Harbor International Airport makes it an attractive location for the sector.

Employment in the automotive repair sector is expected to increase due to a rise in the driving age population nationwide, as well as the growing sophistication and dependency on electronic controls and systems in motor vehicles requiring skilled professionals to perform repair and maintenance services.
