Description |
Utah's mature life sciences industry continues to experience strong growth relative to nationwide trends, even during recessions. Newly released data show that employment trends the Gardner Institute first identified through 2017 persisted into the pandemic.1 The number of life sciences jobs in Utah increased by 4.0% in 2020 (see Figure 1). This is the second highest single-year growth among states with large-scale life sciences activity. As for five-year trends, industry employment gains in Utah tempered slightly from 5.1% per year from 2012 to 2017 to 4.8% per year from 2015 to 2020.2 |
