ASBA News, Arizona Jobs Report, 17,000 Jobs added in March <br /> <br />asba.com <br />sequencemediagroup.com <br />Arizona Business News providing a business news update from April <br />23. <br />Despite adding 17,000 more jobs, Arizona's unemployment rate remains unchanged at 7.3% for the month. "As there's some growth, there's an equal amount of people that just can't find that right opportunity," says Ryan Naylor, founder of Local Work, an Arizona-based hyper-local job board focused on helping local job seekers find local quality jobs , who recently spoke with Arizona Business News. A lot of Arizona companies and hospitals are hiring 100 or more employees this month, including Chipotle, Verizon Wireless and Aetna Healthcare. <br />More consumers than ever are consulting online reviews as a first step in deciding what products and services to buy and local businesses to buy from, with a jump to 85% from 70% in the past two years. <br />Those who didn't sign up for health insurance through the government marketplace by March 31, may have to wait until October to buy a plan, even outside the marketplace. It's an economic decision for health insurers to stay viable by attracting young, health people who don't require expensive care. If they're open year-round, they are more likely to attract those who are sick, newly diagnosed and in need of immediate care. Meritus, an Arizona-based non-profit insurer, says it intends to sell coverage outside of the open enrollment period and will be the only one in Arizona to do so.
