Need a job? Utah continues to be one of the best places in the nation to find one, according to new federal statistics released Friday.
Utah’s unemployment rate is eighth lowest among the states. And the Beehive State ranks No. 2 for the number of jobs it added in the year between May 2018 and May 2019, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“Job seeker opportunities remain robust as we continue to experience strong job growth and markedly low unemployment,” said Mark Knold, senior economist at the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
“While job growth did abate a bit in May, it does not reflect an underlying softening in market demand,” he added.
