The skepticism was enhanced after hearing an independent assessment of the impact by Wharton Econometrics Forecasting Associates Inc, explains the N ational Mining Association. WEFA estimated that U.S. approval of the treaty would force reductions in the ld gross domestic product of $2,061 in the year 2010 and $1,715 in 2015. Implementing the Kyoto Protocol would mean sharply higher prices for energy and electricity, indicated Mary Noval, WEFA senior vice president. The Kyoto Protocol does not require developing nations to participate in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, higher energy costs in the United States would not only reduce U.S. living standards, but would give countries such as Mexico, China, Korea, Indonesia, Brazil and others a competitive advantage over the United States and other developed economics. The WEFA data stood in sharp contrast to testimony by White House economist Janet Yellen and Stuart Eizenstat, an under secretary of state who negotiated O O sales agents Kenny ing.

Yellen claimed one computer model showed that the treaty would trim a mere 0.1 percent from the nations gross reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2010 would require the equivalent of a $95 per ton carbon tax.

Richard Burr. My concern is this is not a work in progress, but a farce in progress, commented Rep. Tom Coburn. Meanwhile, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said the administration estimates are based on unrealistic assumptions about how other nations, especially developing nations, might accept the treaty. If these scenarios turn out to be false, American is facing a 40 percent to 50 percent increase at the gas pump and 30 percent to 50 percent increase in home and business energy costs, concluded the U.S. Chamber of persons dropped significantly from the record high of 22,831 persons estimated in 1994. During the past seven years, an estimated 122,000 more people have moved into the state than have moved out. The figure is substantially more people than live in West Valley City. However, even with the net over 60 percent of Utahs new population growth during the past seven years came from natural increase. Since 1990, natural increase totals nearly 198,000 which is a total population increase in the same time frame of 320,000. Population estimates are for the resident population and do not include people living in Utah who have a usual place of residence elsewhere. The above point is particular important, said the report, because of Utahs construction boom. Though down slightly from the 1996 peak, both resi HEY DY construction values are at near record levels. Job growth in construction was 8.5 percent in 1997, but doubled the overall job growth rate for seven consecutive years. A portion of Utahs construc- Commerce.

Referred to as travelers by the union construction trades, they are not counted in the reports estimates. There is no concrete information on how many of these temporary residents reside in Utah. Several factors enter into the dynamic nature of Utahs job market, which make it increasingly difficult to accurately estimate the States population. One perplexing feature of the states recent population growth is that Utahs annual job growth has generally been in the 5 percent range since 1993. the population increase. Part of the disparity results because temporary workers not residing in Utah are not counted in the population, but are included in the job numbers. Two other responsible factors include an increasing portion of the population now working plus workers who hold more than one job. Changing household composition, in particular, relatively fewer households with children, also contributes to the unusual relationship between population growth and job growth within Utah. two-pare- nt SHOW SIPECDHS 3054 Per Mo.
