Utah Economic and Employment Trends

These local administrative updates occur as Utah continues to navigate trends from the previous year's economic performance. According to the Utah Department of Workforce Services, Utah’s nonfarm payroll employment increased by an estimated 1.2% during the 12 months ending December 2025, adding a cumulative 21,800 jobs since December 2024.

State Labor Market Analysis

Ben Crabb, chief economist with the Department of Workforce Services, noted in a January 2026 report that while the state's labor market remains strong with a 3.6% unemployment rate, a decline in the labor force participation rate suggests some workers may be stepping away as the job market cools. The report highlighted significant year-over-year gains in education and health services, which added 7,400 jobs, while the trade, transportation, and utilities sector saw a loss of 4,000 jobs.
