The Salt Lake Chamber, in partnership with the University of Utah’s Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, releases the Roadmap to Prosperity Economic Dashboard to inform business leaders’ understanding of Utah’s economy. This tool prioritizes key data on the state’s economic outlook and actionable context for decision-makers.
The Dashboard is updated monthly, providing essential insights, tracking timely and leading measures, and sharing pertinent indicators. This provides leaders with critical and timely information to make informed decisions.
First Dashboard released: September 2020.
“Utah’s economic resilience stands above national trends yet again. Businesses are doing exactly what they need to do to prepare for headwinds created by national policies and global events, and the positive labor market growth trends point toward economic strength in the near term. Record-setting passenger numbers at the airport prove that people want to be here. Heading into the fourth quarter, it is critical that business leaders continue to proactively take steps to address challenges that will come.”
“Utah’s economy remains resilient, despite uneven economic indicators at the national level. High employment growth, record-breaking airport traffic and relatively stable consumer sentiment are all reasons for cautious optimism, especially when compared to the national sentiment decline of nearly 6% in August.”
