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.
“As economic uncertainty continues, Utah’s labor markets are responding to the pressure with strength. Even with steep declines in both Utah and U.S. consumer sentiment, employment growth in Utah demonstrates our resiliency and ability to adapt to shifting economic conditions. Moving forward, we can prepare for additional changes and unease by remaining attentive to repercussions of applicable policies and seeking ways to continually innovate and promote growth.”
“While Utah’s labor market continues to demonstrate resilience, ranking among the top states for employment growth, there are signs of moderation and consumer unease. Utah has the strongest economy in the nation and is favorably positioned to weather a slowdown, but decision-makers must remain vigilant in the face of ongoing economic uncertainties and federal policy shifts that weigh on confidence locally and nationwide.”
