Economic growth in Utah during 2016 was among the strongest in the country, and job growth was nearly double the national rate.
Many reports from Deseret News and Utah Business projected continued strength and growth (though more moderate) throughout 2017.
Official numbers may not be in yet, but Utah's economy remains strong. Even reports like this one on Wallet Hub, which didn't rank Utah #1, still put the economic health of Utah at the top of their list, showing the potential for Utah in 2017.
