If you're in the market for a new job, Arizona might be just the place for you.

The Phoenix New Times reports the state is aiming to become "an emerging hub for innovation" with a focus on blockchain technology.

The state is home to a number of blockchain-related companies, including the Arizona Applied Blockchain Research Center and several startups working on solutions in various industries, according to a press release from the Partnership for Economic Innovation.

"As businesses recognize the potential of blockchain to revolutionize traditional processes, streamline operations, and enhance security, they are investing heavily in blockchain initiatives, fueling the demand for skilled professionals and innovative solutions," the press release states.

Job postings on Indeed and LinkedIn show an increasing number of openings for blockchain developers, architects, analysts, and consultants in the state.

The blockchain market in Arizona and Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years, according to industry reports.
