Fueled by an amazing entrepreneurial spirit, Northwest Arkansas emerged from modest beginnings to become one of the nation's dynamic economic regions. Industry leaders such as Walmart, Sam’s Club, Tyson Foods, Simmons Foods, and J.B. Hunt started here, and Northwest Arkansas is the home of the University of Arkansas, the state’s flagship campus, and Northwest Arkansas Community College. The presence of those companies and the quality of higher education drives our region’s economic growth.
Our economy’s growth rate is faster than 96 of the Top 100 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and ranks as the #92 economy. The population of the MSA now tops 605,000, ranking as the 96th largest metro area in the United States. The NWA region is also home to one of the highest shares of Millennial population in all occupations. (Source: NWA Council)
