Utah's economy continues to grow Utah's economy continues to out perform the rest of the nation. na-tion. With Utah's unemployment rate at its lowest level since 1956, and a job growth rate double the U.S. average, second only to Nevada, Utah's economy can only be described as booming, boom-ing, f ' , ' ' '. Particularly encouraging are increases in Utah's average annual annu-al pay and the percentage of goods producing jobs in Utah. For the second straight year, Utah's average annual pay as a percent of the U.S. annual pay increased from a low of 84.4 in 1993 to 84.7 in 1994 tc 85.8 in 1995, the highest since 1988. The percentage of goods producing pro-ducing jobs in Utah grew in 1995 for the fourth consecutive year. In 1995, 20.6 of jobs in Utah were goods producing, the highest high-est level since 1986. It is not coincidental that both measures have improved nearly simultaneously. Goods producing jobs typically provide higher wages, increasing Utah's average annual pay as a percent of the U.S. average. In-migration in 1995 fell for only the second time in seven years. In 1995, 15,139 persons moved to Utah, many attracted to Utah's strong economy and growing grow-ing job market. However, die to slowing in-migration and the increasing number of jobs, many,, firms found it difficult to attract workers. Shortages were particularly particu-larly acute in Salt Lake, Summit, Utah and Washington Counties. Bankruptcy filings in Utah increased for the first time in four years in 1995. According to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, 7,262 bankruptcies were filed in 1995, an 11 increase over 1994. However, the recent increase in-crease is probably due to the overall increase in the number of home purchases as persons take advantage of record low interest rates. . , Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones.
