The City of Mesa has very high
quality workers. Statistics show that the
population in Mesa is better educated than the
national average. The city's ACT test scores
show performance levels above the state and nation
as well as a number of other Phoenix-Mesa MSA
communities. The presence of ASU East, Mesa
Community College, the East Valley Think Tank and a
host of other educational facilities has helped
contribute to the well-trained workforce. |
