SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level ever recorded last month — registering at 2.3 percent for the month of December. “The economy continues adding to multiple years of robust job creation. This dynamic has carried Utah to its lowest recorded unemployment rate,” said Mark Knold, chief economist with the state Department of Workforce Services. “The job market is humming along at a feverish pace and is absorbing as much labor as possible.”

I cannot believe the growth Utah is experiencing. I see license plates from all over the country here, and they appear to be going to work.

It will be very interesting to see the unemployment rate October of the dozen (or so) swing states...particularly Florida,Pennsylvania,Ohio and Michigan.

Another figure to watch in those states individual/household income.

If those figures look good then (as they do now) the President could easily glide to victory.

Biggest problem with Utah is housing prices almost as high as California and wage scales almost as low as Arkansas.

There are lots of people fleeing California and bidding up real estate prices.

And yet Trump has his biggest issues with Romney and Lee.
I would chuck them out of the GOP.

Romney does not surprise me. His default setting is "@$$hat" and he always seems to go back there.

Mike Lee really surprises me because his Dad was a highly trustworthy official in the Reagan administration. I've got to wonder what is going on with him.

An interesting fact is about Mike Lee is that he is a direct descendant of the fellow below:
From Wikipedia-
John Doyle Lee was an American pioneer and prominent early member of the Latter Day Saint Movement in Utah. Lee was later convicted as a mass murderer for his complicity in the Mountain Meadows massacre, sentenced to death and was executed in 1877.

Utah should raise its unemployment rate a hair and fire Romney. Don’t wait for an election either.

I really wanted Trump, after the economy was unavoidably blasting off, to play that Obama clip at a rally and then cut away with a stick in his hand and say, “Abracadabra!”.

Maybe enough out of staters will dilute the Moron vote and you can get ride of Romney and Lee.

The same thing is happening here in Idaho. Idaho has 1.8 million people. California has 39.8 million people. California is 22 times bigger than Idaho.

It doesn’t take many political refugees from California to completely swamp small states like Idaho and Utah.

House prices here have doubled in the past few years. Property taxes are going up. Wages are not going up anywhere near fast enough to compensate for the ex-Californians bidding up real estate prices. The locals are incensed.

But there isn’t much that can be done. Maybe California could oust the radical leftists from government and restore sanity to the state. There’s a better chance that the sun will rise in the west tomorrow morning.
