The average wage is a silly statistic that does not really reflect wage gains made within the state. If you compare a room full of 50 year olds average wage to a room full of 30 year olds, the 50 year olds will have higher wages. The average wage statistic is skewed by demographics, and Utah has unique demographics. Anyone will tell you that additional experience will provide higher wages (albeit at diminishing rates)...but this and most papers in this state consistently report these misleading statistics as problems.
Hello! It is impossible to track every individual one by one. We have the best economy in the country and it is not stopping. The only thing slowing as down is the lack of workers. Now is the time to look for better employment and secure the best job you are capable of. Someday the pickings will not be so good. Enjoy this economy while it lasts.
This is another reason we need real immigration reform b/c we have the jobs but not the workers.
