Abacus: Community and Economic Impact Report:

As part of this event, the Asian Chamber of Commerce will release the Abacus: Community and Economic Impact Report, shedding light on the substantial economic contributions made by Asian Pacific American businesses in our area. The report highlights the vital role these businesses play in our local economy, job creation, and community development.

This report, which includes the most recent data available about population, education, and economic impact, fills in knowledge gaps about our community.  It opens windows to understanding the AANHPI presence in Arizona. It discusses entrepreneurialism, small-business development, cultural awareness, myths and stereotypes, and the recent years of anti-Asian racism. It reflects on the need for collaboration within the AANHPI community and across social, economic, and multicultural sectors at local, national, and international levels.
