The state government is the largest employer in Arizona, followed by Wal-Mart. The leading agricultural sectors are cattle and dairy, followed by cotton and assorted vegetable crops. Recently, low corporate taxes have led to a boom in technology and manufacturing, with many companies migrating over from neighboring California. Tourism is also a major industry in Arizona, thanks in part to more than two-dozen national parks.
