Prescott is regarded as the region's trade center. Government is the dominant sector for the economy. Construction, real estate, healthcare, tourism, education, accommodation and food services and durable goods manufacturing are significant contributors for employment in the city. Professional, scientific and technical services also provide jobs. In addition, Flagstaff is home to Arizona's second busiest airport.
Prescott's enterprise zone offers state income tax credits and/or property tax reductions. Another program, the Arizona Job Building Program, was designed to produce quality employment opportunities, increase the per capita income of the residents of Arizona and to increase the skill levels of the employees. Reimbursement grants are also provided to companies that are expanding their business or are newly locating in the city.
