The Forbes article, which came out last week, states an educated U.S. workforce and low population density may be the recipe for success – and Tucson/Southern Arizona exactly fits that.

“The most dynamic recoveries may well bypass traditional powerhouses and take place instead in areas that either were or were poised to lead the way in 2020 before everything changed,” writes Adam Kamins, senior regional economist at Moody’s Analytics and the author of the report.

And college towns were well-represented on the list, where they “could enjoy a surge in growth in the years to come,” Kamins added.
