Americans worked 49 days to reach Tax Freedom Day U.S. Tax Freedom Day arrived May 11 this year, one day later than last year and the latest date ever, according to the Tax Foundation of Washington D.C. The average American must work 131 days in 1999 to pay all federal, state, and local taxes, assuming every dollar earned from the start of the year goes to pay taxes. The average American this year will work 49 days to pay personal income taxes, 37 days to pay Social Security, 17 days to pay sales and excise taxes, 11 days to pay property taxes, and five days for other miscellaneous taxes. In 1998, 24.3 percent of the average Americans income will be paid in federal taxes and 11.3 percent will be paid in state and local taxes for a total tax burden of 35.7 percent. The total tax burden in Utah is 34.7 percent, 23.5 percent being paid in federal taxes and 11.2 percent in state and local taxes. The study shows Utahs Tax Freedom Day as May 7, the same as last year and five days earlier than the average American. While Utahs state and local tax burden is high, Utahns pay less in federal taxes owing to our larger family sizes, higher charitable contributions and a high rate of home ownership, all of which combine to give the average Utahn, more federal deductions. Although the average American will work 131 days this year just to pay taxes, some residents of some states will work even later. Residents of Connecticut and New York must work until May 22 to achieve tax freedom, followed by residents of Minnesota who must work until May 21.

Natural increase is computed from tion growth since 1990 records maintained by the Utah Department of Health.

Utahs population density is interesting because the state is one of the most urban states in the nation, but it is one of the least densely populated. Population density is the number of persons living in a given area. Since a common measure of land area is square miles, density is commonly measured as person per square population growth. Furthermore, the number of jobs created was about 20 percent greater than the population increase. Part of the disparity re- sulted because temporary workers not residing in Utah are not counted in the population. Two other sources of disparity include an in- creasing portion of the population working and an increasing portion of workers holding more than one mile. job.
