JAMESON - 648 2250 Oil Company of California ECorae grovfih is in sections of Utah did not share equally in the economic growth of the state during the past decade. This was one of the conclusions reached by Utah Foundation, the private research group, in their analysis of tax and economic changes in Utah during the 1960s. All Preliminary Census figures indicate that the population of Kane County on April 1, 1970, was 2,318, a decrease of 349, or 13.1, since i960. The 1970 Census count placed the total population of the state at 1,060,671, an increase of 170,044, or 19.1 , since 1960. The Foundation report notes that all of the population growth in Utah during the 1960s can be traced to the states high birth rate. In fact, it appears that there was a net of 7,000 individuals approximately from Utah during the past decade. Although total population rose by between 170,000 approximately and 1970, the natural increase (excess of births over deaths) in Utah was 177,000 during this same period. Fourteen of Utahs 29 counties experienced population declines between 1960 and 1970. A major factor contributing to the population losses in many of these counties was the declining role played by agriculture in the total employment picture. The number of persons employed in agriculture dropped from 29,700 in 1960 to 1960 16,600 in 1969. Although most counties report gains in nonagricultural employment during the 1960s, the increases in many cases were not sufficient to offset the declines registered in farm and other employment in the period. The report indicates that there were 776 nonagricultural jobs in Kane County during June, 1969, an increase of 164, or 26.8 since June, 1960. For the state as a whole, June 25, reverse employment tononagricultural taled 351,732 in June, 1969, an increase of 30.4 during the nine-yea- r period. According to the Foundation report, personal income in Utah between 1960 and 1969, rose 77 compared with increases of 91 in the eleven Western States and 86 for the nation as a whole. inKane County registered a 9 crease in personal income during the nine-yea- r period. The report notes that the slower rate of growth in the Utah economy during the 1960s is illustrated even more clearly by per capita income trends. In 1960 Utah ranked 30th among the fifty states in per capita income which was 11 below the U. S. average. By 1969 per capita income in Utah had slipped to 19 below the U.S. average and the States ranking had dropped to 39th. Although Utahs economy failed to match the gains made in most Orderville news and events rise to optimism for the future. items Among the encouraging cited in the report are the availability of ample power and fuel supplies for future industrial expansion, the beginnings of new chemical and metals industries based on development of the resources in the Great Salt Lake, an abundance of raw materials, a central geographic location in a growing West, a highly educated labor force, and a favorable environment for tourism and family living.
