Rampton reported to the State Economic Development Conference this week that Utah personal income growth has continued to increase at a much faster rate than the national average, and is 17 per cent above the first half of 1972. The increase in personal resulted in $2.4 billion for the first six months of this year, about $350 million better than the first six months of last year. The Governor went on to say, Our average per worker or per family income ranks us right at the national average. At the end of last fiscal year the state had an estimated surplus in excess of $31 million. Not only is the personal income growth expanding the state unemployment picture is on the brighter side. The medial age in Utah is 22, which means there are almost as many people in schools and colleges or looking for their first job as there are people already in the work force. That makes us one of the youngest states in the nation and means that we have a much more difficult task of finding job opportunities for the young people, the governor said. However the highest point of the unemployment was the seasonal job outlook with 5.5 percent out of work. One other point of much concern and interest is the geo- - ds 4 J FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1973 in-cc- John Klas J J 4 - me Governor Calvin L. Rampton graphical location of Utah. The future of the industrial aspect for Utah may prove to be the most important concern for the future growth of the state. The most important feature of the Rural Development Act which was passed by the U.S. Congress is the business and industrial loan aspect in which the Farmers Home Administration will serve and guarantee all loans for development costs. The Governor predicted that Utah would become a vital part of the West Coast port system as an inland port or transportation market. TODAYS EDITORIAL Hydrogen Sulfide and Suicide The high incidence of mental depression in western Washington was correlated with levels of hydrogen sulfide pollution in the air, in a report given to the American Chemical Society. The higher suicide rate on the West Coast as compared to the East Coast, and in Sweden as compared to ponvay, might be explained in the same manner, proposed chemists at South Seattle Community College. The correlation between air pollution and mental depression is based on a preliminary study that included some 250 measurements of hydrogen sulfide in Seattle air and surveys of several thousand Seattle residents in a ll year period. The major portion of the work was conducted in the winter of 1972. The maximum level of hydrogen sulfide found in Seattle was 80 parts in a billion parts of air (ppb). This can be compared to the several hundred ppb found in (Continued on page 4) 9 f I |
