Mexican Visitors to Arizona:
Visitor Characteristics and Economic Impacts, 2007-08

"The results of this study, as in the past, demonstrate the economic importance of Mexican visitor spending to Arizona’s economy. An estimated 23,385 wage and salary jobs in Arizona at eating and drinking establishments, retail establishments and other spending-related sectors are directly attributable to Mexican visitor spending. Through local purchases of supplies by businesses and the spending of income derived from
visitor-related jobs, Mexican visitors generate 6,970 additional jobs in Arizona in 2007-08. These jobs account for a total income of $837 million and $3.61 billion in sales."
