Roadmap to Prosperity Economic Dashboard
The Utah Chamber, in partnership with the University of Utah’s Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, releases the Roadmap to Prosperity Economic Dashboard to inform business leaders’ understanding of Utah’s economy. This tool prioritizes key data on the state’s economic outlook and actionable context for decision-makers.
The Dashboard is updated monthly, providing essential insights, tracking timely and leading measures and sharing pertinent indicators. This provides leaders with critical and timely information to make informed decisions.
“Even as federal data disruptions created gaps in our labor market picture, Utah’s underlying fundamentals remain strong. Our unemployment rate stands well below the national average, and Utahns continue to show confidence in their economy. These indicators reflect a workforce and business community that is resilient, engaged and well-positioned for continued growth.”
Derek Miller
President & CEO, Utah Chamber
"While Utah's economic indicators showcase promising resilience, with steady job growth and a robust construction market, recent declines in consumer sentiment serve as a reminder of the financial challenges Utahns continue to face. State leaders and decision-makers must also remain vigilant as national and global events continue to introduce uncertainty into Utah's economic landscape."
