DASHBOARD
December 2020
The Road to Recovery Dashboard tracks Utah’s path to a full and complete economic recovery from the COVID-19 recession. The Dashboard, which is updated monthly, provides essential insights, tracks timely and leading measures, and shares salient indicators since the start of the pandemic. THREE ESSENTIAL INSIGHTS:

While COVID-19 cases rise, the cumulative case-fatality rate declines. While both Utah and the U.S. have seen an increase in COVID-19 cases over the past several weeks, the cumulative case-fatality rate continues to fall. Utah has a 0.5% case-fatality rate compared to the U.S. rate of 3.0%. It will be important to watch in the weeks ahead to see if an increase in deaths follows the surge in cases.
Utah’s unemployment ranks 5th in the nation. Utah’s unemployment rate reached 10% in April 2020 but declined each month to 4.1% in August. September’s unemployment increased to 5.0%, the first increase since April’s peak. Utah currently ranks 5th with an unemployment rate of 4.1%.

Utah’s job change nears neutral. Utah has been seeing a year-over decline in jobs every month since April’s 7.0% year-over job loss. October continues to show a decline but of less than 1.0%. Job growth has continued to improve each month and is nearing neutral. If the rate of improvement continues, Utah should see overall job growth soon!
