by | Dec 21, 2020 | News | 0 comments

Utah’s job market continues to improve, especially compared to much of the country. November’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for the state is 4.3 percent, that is up slightly from 4.1 percent in October. The national unemployment rate went from 6.9 percent in October to 6.7 percent in November. “Utah’s job market continues to incrementally improve with thousands of job openings in multiple industries,” reported Mark Knold, Chief Economist at the Department of Workforce Services. “Utah’s economy has shown itself to be one of the nation’s best in re-employing workers. While the pace of job improvement has slowed in the last few months, we anticipate continued job gains amidst this moderating trend as the economy moves through the winter months.” Unemployment rates by county are expected to be released early this week.
