Positive signs for Utah economy from Salt Lake Chamber on Vimeo.

Just a few weeks into the fourth quarter of 2010, the Utah Economy finds itself in an interesting position. There are a number of areas in which the Utah is a leader in the nation… for example the state unemployment number is well below the national average, we’ve seen growth over the past year and earlier this month Forbes named us tops in business and careers.

On the other hand, over 100 thousand Utahns are still out of work and while economists have declared the Great Recession officially over, its effects are still felt by many.

Natalie Gochnour, chief economist at the Salt Lake Chamber, joins us to talk about economic tailwinds and headwinds and what the future holds.
