Finding qualified workers to fill open positions is among the obstacles to growth for employers in Utah, according to a new report from the non-partisan Utah Foundation, Is This the Place? A Survey of Utah Employers.
The report also shows the wages offered for those skilled positions are often below national median levels.
The survey of more than 150 businesses across the state also shows that Utah’s workforce is recognized for its strong work ethic, and that business leaders feel Utah’s government leaders are strongly supportive of business. Newer businesses, though, are more likely to say they believe Utah is not on the right track compared to more established employers.
