Life in Utah
How we work, live, and play.
Whether it’s friendly neighbors, beautiful mountains or the greatest snow on earth, the Wasatch Front is where it’s at. People are flocking to Utah for the quality of life and affordable living. Not to mention, the Beehive State boasts world-class outdoor recreation year-round. Here’s a few more reasons we love to call Utah home.
Work in Utah.
Utah is home to a well-educated, diverse, tech-savvy workforce. It’s one of the many reasons the unemployment rate is nearly half the national average. And Utahans don’t just work hard to find employment; Utah is notorious for creating jobs, especially in technology. The beehive state boasts more than 4,000 tech companies. One of the reasons the state raked in more than $950M in venture capital funding in 2014. So if you’re looking to build your career or your company, join us on the silicon slopes.
Live in Utah.
Despite competing with the best and brightest for VC funding, Utah will never match the soaring cost of living in other tech hubs. For example, in New York a 300 sq. ft. ‘apartment’ costs approximately as much as a 3,000 sq. ft. home in Utah. Plus, the average commute to work in Utah is a comfortable 20 minutes. That’s less than Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. Are you ready to embrace a better life, a bigger house, and a speedier commute?
Play in Utah.
What fun is it to work hard if you can’t play even harder? Tourists come from all over the world to play in Utah’s five national parks, six national forests, seven national monuments, and more than a dozen world-class ski resorts. There’s a reason Utah is home to the world’s largest outdoor retailers conference. So whether you’re shredding the notorious pow, tearing through the mountain biking mecca of St. George, or just hiking in the Wasatch Mountains, Utah offers statewide adventure unlike any other.
