While the states construction, trade and service industries all grew at their smallest rates in over a decade, economists say the slowing expansion could indicate the beginning of slow, sustained growth. The July unemployment rate was 3.6 percent Though still much lower than the national rate, it was the highest Utah rate in almost two years. "The August (unemployment) rate proves the July figure to be somewhat of an anomaly, but it may have been influenced by the secondary effects of the General Motors labor dispute, since several hundred Utahns were on temporary furlough, UDWS chief economist Ken Jensen said. Approximately 35,600 Utah res-- . idents were unemployed in August, 3,100 more than in August 1997. Utah remained well behind the national unemployment rate of 4.5 percent. The states non-farjob growth rate was 3.0 percent for August, a slight increase over recent trends. Although its too sady to.know for sure, this is a signal that the , long slide in job growth rates is leveling off," Jensen said. "We have apparently accomplished an orderly transition from the rapid growth of 1993 through 1996 to a sustainable pace in 1998. UDWS executive director Bob Gross said Utahs diverse industrial mix was able to continue expanding in August despite turmoil in m international markets. Between August 1997 and August 1998, Utahs employers created over 30.000 net new jobs, non-far- m 23.000 of which were produced in the private sector. As usually happens in a period of slowingjob growth, government employment is now growing faster than private sector employment. Utah manufacturers have added 1,600 net new jobs in the past 12 months. By comparison, the nation saw a slight decline in the number of manufacturing jobs over the last year. Also since August 1997, construction employment growth slowed to its lowest rate in a decade. But UDWS officials say the construction industry should be protected from employment losses by the number ofconstruction prqjects currently active in the state. Utahs service industries grew at their slowest rate since 1983 during the last year, adding just 8,900 net jobs. Business services and engineeringmanage-men- t services experienced relatively rapid growth. The trade indusdivision, try, Utahs second-largeproduced 4,600 net jobs in the post 12 months. Employment at lumber, gardening and general merchandise stores is growing notably slower than in all other retail categories. Utabsjniniog industry is losing jdbs again after a modest growth period in 1997. Hie state lost 400 mining jobs in the last year, including 300 metal mining jobs. Government employers in Utah have 7,100 more positions than a year ago, an increase of4.5 percent In both state and local government over half of the new jobs were in educational services. AP st . .
