The Utah Department of Workforce Services has provided updated unemployment numbers by County. Daggett County unemployment is 4.5 percent, up from 4.3 percent the month before. Duchesne County unemployment stayed the same at 2.9 percent. Uintah County also stayed the same from the month before at 3.4 percent unemployment. November’s seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate for Utah inched up one-tenth of a percentage point to 2.2% meaning approximately 38,200 Utahns are unemployed. The November national unemployment rate is unchanged at 3.7%. “The Utah economy is settling into some subtle moderation in its economic variables,” reported Mark Knold, Chief Economist at the Department of Workforce Services. “Job growth is not as rapid as it was for most of this year, and the unemployment rate, though still very low, is starting to inch upward. Before it was inching downward; now it is inching upward. This is no cause for concern given how low it is. But an eventual upward movement is a normal and expected action.”
