At the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, we develop and share economic, demographic and public policy data and research that help individuals and the community make informed decisions.

ew York Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman says if you want to be optimistic about the future, stand on your head and see the world from the bottom up. Your perspective will start with communities, extend to states, and progress to the nation and the world. The closer you are to the bottom of this progression, the more positive will be your outlook. He says the entrepreneurship and innovation happening at the community level propels his bright outlook.

In this, the second edition of Utah Informed, we share his optimism. The tables, charts, ideas, and schematics shared in this book present a microcosm of the many challenges and opportunities we face. The great reason for optimism is that Utah community leaders rely on sound data to make decisions. Pair this data-driven orientation with the extraordinary innovation and entrepreneurship that occurs in Utah, and you have a winning combination. Philanthropist Kem C. Gardner and other community leaders have endowed the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the David Eccles School of Business. Their vision is for the Institute to be the place where Utah comes together

to clarify facts, discuss ideas, prevent and solve problems, and, ultimately, thrive. The partnership with the Salt Lake Chamber helps us fulfill this mission. In this booklet, we present what we call â&#x20AC;&#x153;visual intellection.â&#x20AC;? Each page forces the viewer to consider a compelling trend, a new idea, or an aspirational thought. The information may help you connect a few dots. It may also leave you wanting, not knowing exactly what to think. That is intentional. We want this booklet to make you think. We hope this 2017 edition of Utah Informed will help you make informed decisions in 2017.

What do hollow trees have to do with the 2016 election?

“You don’t know a tree is hollow until you push hard against it and it falls. The establishments of both parties did not know, a year ago, that they were hollow trees. They thought themselves strong because they always had been, and people think what has been true will continue. Then suddenly the tree is pushed and falls. To me that is the symbol, the image of 2016: the hollowed trees and how easily they fell.” – Peggy Noonan
