July’s jobs report holds no surprises. Year-over-year job growth remains on par with Utah’s long-term average at 3.0%. The state’s unemployment rate remains in historically low territory at 2.4%. This is an increase of 49,300 jobs since July 2022. The steady growth in Utah has led to a greater demand for workers. Last month we saw more teens, men 25-34, older women and Hispanic women joining the workforce. Teenagers are working more now. Older women are also working more, often in part-time jobs. Largest private sector gains: • Leisure and hospitality services: 17,500 jobs • Education and health services: 10,200 jobs • Other services: 4,400 jobs • Construction: 4,200 jobs Listen to Chief Economist Mark Knold shares his analysis: #utpol #utbiz #utecon
