Utah’s nonfarm wage and salaried job count for December 2011, as generated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), expanded by 3.0 percent compared to December 2010. This is a 12-month increase of 36,300 jobs, and raises total wage and salary employment to 1,235,400.
The industrial sector leading Utah’s employment growth is professional and business services—up 11,000 positions over the past year. Half of this is in high-paying professional and technical industries like legal services, computer systems design, consulting, and marketing research. The other half is through employment service businesses (temporary help services), which supply workers to other businesses and industries.
