Question
Hello,
Im retired and just have my SS to live on for both me and my wife.
Are there many jobs for the retired in AZ?
Im 64 and in good health.
We live in Arkansas and the winter here gets cold and damp,i think the warmer and dryer climate would be great.I used to live in Safford Az when i was a lot younger and loved it.
Thanks, Voyt


Answer
Hello Voyt,

Well, I don't know how many is many, but there are certainly people in your situation who have jobs. There are retail jobs, teaching jobs, temp jobs, banking jobs, consulting jobs--I guess it depends what you do!

I have a section at the About Phoenix site on job search--maybe that would help for you to know what's available:

Chances are you'd need to live here first, though, before you'd be hired.

Good luck,
