Where are the jobs?!

CNNMoney has answered the question on nearly everyone’s mind, “Where are the jobs?” Out of 25 counties in the United States, Utah County came in at number 8, with a special emphasis on American Fork, Lindon, and Provo. With a job growth of 47.1% between 2000 and 2010, along with major companies like the National Security Agency and Overstock.com making homes here, this really is the place!

Thought of the Week –

Montana’s official state animal is the grizzly bear, which makes sense since they have the largest grizzly population in the lower 48 states!

We hope you’ve had a great summer!
