A new study says Utahns are far more optimistic about their financial future than most Americans, and the young “millennial” generation of 18 to 34 year olds is the most upbeat of all.
The Utah Foundation report said Utahns likely are more confident because recovery from the recession was quicker and stronger here than in other states. And millennials may be the most confident because they are young and have extra time to improve their financial standing before retirement.
The foundation released Thursday the second of a four-part study about differences in attitudes among generations in Utah, this one focusing on finances and workplaces. It surveyed 1,300 Utahns in March with the same questions used in national polls to allow comparisons with other Americans.
