Throughout the state, federal outlays amounted to $3,096,463,000 in fiscal 1980. Although these federal outlays have grown from less than $1.2 billion in 1970 to nearly $3.1 billion in 1980, they actually constitute a smaller portion of the Utah ecnonomy than they did ten years ago. In 1970, federal outlays were 34.1 percent of Utahs personal income. Last year such outlays were 28.4 percent of personal income.
