Economic Research by Utah Foundation
Utah Foundation has written annual research reports for the past three years on the progress of Utah's economy in light of the national recession. We also participate in writing the annual Economic Report to the Governor, along with other members of the Governor's Council of Economic Advisors. In late summer, a detailed Research Report will be written on this topic for the Utah Priorities project.
