Arizona’s Job Market in Freefall | Phoenix News

Arizona’s job market took a brutal hit in August as over 1,600 workers lost their jobs across six major companies — including the shocking, no-warning shutdown of Salad and Go. While WARN notices are legally required, many employees got zero advance notice. Infineon, Pinnacle Transplant, Amentum, Essendant, and SMBC Manubank all cut hundreds of positions, citing financial strain or shifting markets. The human toll is devastating — families, futures, livelihoods upended overnight. A tiny silver lining? Salad and Go’s founders, now running Angie’s, vow to rehire as many former staff as possible — but it’s not enough to undo the shockwave rippling through Arizona’s workforce.
