Utah's consumer sentiment shows another modest increase

Utah's consumer sentiment rose by 1.9 points from January to February, increasing to 78.8, according to the Kem C. Gardner Institute's Utah Consumer Sentiment Survey. While the overall outlook increased, certain groups reported mixed views. Sentiment increased among college graduates and households making less than $100,000 in annual income, but fell for those without degrees and households making $100,000 or more. All age groups had favorable views and was particularly high for those under 25 and over 55.
