Current statewide signal
Utah hiring snapshot
Indeed job-postings measures across all occupations in Utah.
Indeed job postings only. Postings are not a count of all vacancies or hires, Indeed does not cover the whole labor market, and this is statewide activity across all occupations, not an occupation health score. Each series is seasonally adjusted and indexed to its own February 1, 2020 level, so a higher index does not mean more jobs than another state.

OEWS covers wage and salary jobs and excludes the self-employed. “Top-coded” means BLS publishes only that the wage is at or above its reporting ceiling; “Not released” means BLS withheld the estimate. Missing values are never estimated. These occupation wages are separate from the QCEW industry trends on detailed occupation pages.
