Economy Continued from D6 and research and the economic dividends of higher education. He compared Utah to Michi- gan, wherehe lived before moving West. Hesaid Michigan still has an economylargely geared to the industrial age, where land and access to water are important, and the state’s fortunes are linked to how many cars people buy. Utah is different and has the potential to be a player internationally — provided the work forceis ready, “In the new economy... people poweris what makes the difference,” Sederburg said. “It's intellectual, it's brainpower, it’s peopleskills. “The No. 1 reason why companies grow here and then leave Utah is the lack of‘people power’ when it comes to midlevel management and upper management.” Some bad economic news — or at least less good — is that many ofthe jobs being created areat the lowerendof the wagescale, he said. But that could changeif a workforce is developed that has the skills employers in the state are seeking. Manyworkers already are trying to develop those skills, said Casey Peterson, a spokesman for the state Department of Workforce Services and an exhibitor at the business expo. Unemploymentis not really a problem in Utah right now, he said, but “we have a very high underemployméntrate.” It's not something that’s easily quantified, but he said a number of Workforce Services clients already havejobs but are looking for something better. For that, these workers must upgrade their skills, but are usually not in a situation wherethey can go back to schoolfor the training — they havetoget it “on the fly,” said erson. Often what's needed is instruction in software or technology,or the licenses and certification,to managea construction project insteadof just being a worker in that booming industry. 118 East Main « Lehi 768-9514.
