- Arizona Unemployment Rate Drops in October | Legal News | News Ticker
One of the foundational measures of an economy is its unemployment rate, and for more than two years the people of Arizona have suffered record job losses since the onset of the latest recession. While residents in the state continue to suffer on both an individual and a collective basis, any type of good news that’s available will be welcomed, even if that ‘good’ news comes with a harsh reality. This bit of good news is that in October, the unemployment rate in Arizona fell slightly, but the bottom line is that it remains as high as it has been in decades.
October saw the Arizona unemployment rate drop from 9.7 percent to 9.5 percent, and most of the gains in hiring came from the private sector. This hiring can be explained quite simply by the combination of the coming winter months and the need to serve those who live here on a seasonal basis as well as the typical hiring that comes in advance of the holidays and the shopping season. Therefore, many expect this good news to be temporary in nature, and much will depend on the amount of spending that occurs during the holidays and from those who spend their winters in the state.
Overall, though, the 9.5 percent unemployment rate is as high as it’s been in Arizona for more than 25 years before the latest recession occurred, and those who find themselves out of work or just getting back to work are facing difficult economic situations that will be challenging to overcome. When bills mount, penalties and interest attached to them do as well, and this is a problem that can lead to a seeming lack of potential solutions for those who face them every day.

Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.

My review is for Kathy Hudson a legal assistant at the law firm. She is great! She is very professional and a fair based person. She was never rude to me and always called me back. She listened to me and had my best interest as number 1. Mr Nasir who is a supervisor at law firm also was very professional and helpful. Not sure if spelling his name correctly but sorry if not. As far as mr Ross and the lady that runs the front desk reception I would say they are the most unprofessional and rude people I have met at a law firm in my life especially beings they were representing me. But Kathy made it overall a better experience. Thx Kathy.
