Through the Arizona Commission on the Arts, the state makes a strategic investment of public dollars to assure Arizona’s competitive edge in attracting knowledge workers and their businesses. The diversity of Arizona’s artistic offerings becomes a magnet for attracting tourists. This public investment encourages contributions from the private sector and leverages these dollars many times over, contributing enormously to the quality of life and education opportunities the people of Arizona expect.
This follow-up to the 2001 landmark report, "Five Shoes Waiting to Drop on Arizona's Future," focuses on the projected future of the state if Arizona fails to address its Latino educational attainment gap. The publication is more of an economic impact statement than an education report, with indicators pointing out consequences and contributions, depending on action or inaction in closing the gap of Arizona's future workforce.
