Show Notes
Utahs robust economy faces challenges: a slowdown in migration, soaring housing costs, and a severe shortage of construction workers. These issues are causing delays in home, school, and road construction, with median home prices now five times the median income.

Utah must adopt practical solutions, such as welcoming immigrants, to maintain its success.
