Phoenix job losses worst in country

Yikes! Phoenix lost more jobs in the last year (on a percentage basis) than any other area in the United States.

Phoenix lost 8.0 percent of its job base during the past year. The runners-up for that unhappy distinction were Detroit (down 7.8 percent) and Boise, Idaho (down 7.6 percent).

Oh man… worse than Detroit! That hurts.
