The secret of Utah’s success

Utah is the fastest growing state both population-wise and economically. Not only are families thriving and growing in Utah, but businesses and workers are pouring in from other states.

The Oxfam ranking is the easiest to dismiss. Oxfam didn’t talk to a single worker in Utah to see if they liked their job or thought it was fair. All Oxfam did was look at each state’s minimum wage, workplace regulations, and right-to-work laws, and then spit out a ranking. Utah’s ranking on women’s equality is harder to dismiss, but there is a reasonable explanation, one that actually explains why Utah has become such an economic powerhouse.

There is no evidence that Utah businesses discriminate against women, it’s just that women, on average, make less than men.Not according to Nobel Prize-winning economist Claudia Goldin. Goldin’s research has shown that early in their careers, college-educated men and women earn the same amount of money. It is only after women drop out of the workforce to have children that the pay gap begins to show up.
