State Optimistic About Job Gains
About 46,600 Utahns were out of work in March according to the latest numbers from the Utah Department of Workforce Services. Compared to March 2020, the state added 13,800 jobs. The unemployment rate last month was 2.9%, about half the national average. Mark Knold is Chief Economist at the Department of Workforce Services. He said this was the first month where they could make comparisons to when the pandemic began in the U.S. He said he expects year-over-year job gains to look good in coming months because of that.
