Utah County No. 3 in Job Growth in Nation

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced last week that out of 322 of the largest counties in the country, Utah County had the third highest increase in employment last year. According to a press release last Tuesday, jobs in Utah County increased by 4.0 percent, behind Montgomery County, Texas, at 4.1 percent, and Ottawa County, Michigan, at 4.7 percent. Employment increased by 9 percent in the United States overall. You can read more about it in this recent Salt Lake Tribune article. Another reason to be optimistic!

"As an 8-year-old boy living on a farm in Boise, Idaho, I dreamed of one day moving to the enchanting city of Provo. In my mind I imagined the people of Provo to all be ultra nice and super cool. Thirty years later I live a stone's throw away from my dream and have found my imaginings to be quite accurate." Eric Dowdel
