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.
“The federal shutdown may cloud the national economic picture, but we can still see that Utah’s fundamentals remain strong. While consumer sentiment declined in October, steady taxable sales indicate that businesses are weathering uncertainty well, continuing to spend and invest in our local economy.”
“Despite a recent dip in consumer sentiment, Utah’s economy continues to show moderate real growth as taxable sales modestly outpace inflation. However, the ongoing federal government shutdown limits economic visibility by suspending critical data releases. With the likely return to work of federal workers the economic picture will become more clear.”
