Arizona Education Jobs Saved by Stimulus
Many people with Arizona education jobs will reap the benefits of federal stimulus funds.
Gov. Jan Brewer recently announced that the State of Arizona has completed divvying up State Fiscal Stabilization Funds to post-secondary educational institutions throughout the state under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Arizona's three state universities received more than $154 million in funding during August, while the state's community colleges received funding during September and October. The funding will help schools avoid having to make budget cuts, and therefore job cuts, and in some cases allow schools to hire new staff members.
