Job Recovery!

Even with the economy slow in recovery, employers are still hiring. Adding more than 500,000 jobs this year, it is the best three-month gain we’ve seen in five years! After restructuring, modifying, and streamlining their businesses, employees are at the peak of productivity. This is forcing companies to hire, even with their worries about rising costs and other economic obstacles.

Two in the Top Ten!

Two of the top ten fastest growing citites in the nation are right here in Utah! St. George is number two, it has grown just over 52% since 2000. Number six on the list is Provo, growing over 39% thanks in part to its reputation as an excellent place to raise a family and even retire!
