| Utah boasts an abundance of diverse natural resources, the development of which has been critical in securing the state's leadership position in the areas of business and career growth. For those interested in understanding the value of the energy sector to Utah, the numbers speak for themselves. Conservative estimates indicate that about twenty-three thousand Utahns are employed in the energy sector, and the total wages associated with those jobs is over $1.5 billion a year. More importantly, the wages paid to those working in the energy sector is 171% of the state's average. Indeed, not only does the energy resource development sector represent an enormous driver of economic activity within the state, it also creates good jobs for Utahns in every corner of the state. The responsible development of Utah's energy resources, whether conventional, unconventional, or renewable, will continue to ensure that Utah retains its competitive edge globally. |
