The Maricopa Association of Governments
(MAG) Metropolitan Planning
Organization area covers well over
10,000 square miles. It is home to
more than 33,000 employers with five
or more employees comprising of 1.4
million jobs. Given the vast area of the
MAG region, how can we understand

collects data for two spatial datasets
that can address this question. The
2013 MAG Employer Database and the
2014 Job Centers Regional Database
are analyzed to explore the nuanced
