The Utah Department of Workforce Services recently published the state’s job report for February. The report indicates that Utah’s unemployment rate remains stable with no change from the previous month, maintaining a 2.8% unemployment rate. This rate is lower than the national unemployment rate of 3.9%. Jared Mendenhall, the department’s spokesman, shared further insights into these numbers on Utah’s Morning News. He revealed that the state’s unemployment rate and year-over job increase of 1.9% were consistent with the figures from January. Mendenhall also pointed out that the state’s economic market seems to have reached an equilibrium with a ‘Goldilocks zone’ scenario where it’s neither too saturated nor too lacking.
