DASHBOARD
October 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.
Utah’s unemployment rate increases for the first time since April’s peak.
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 0.6% case-fatality rate compared to the U.S. rate of 3%. 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 rate reached 10% in April 2020 but has declined each month to reach as low as 4.2% in August. September’s unemployment increased to 5.0%, the first increase since April’s peak. Utah’s ranking also fell to 7th in the nation compared to its rank of 2nd in August and 1st in July.

Utah’s job change nears neutral. Utah has been seeing a year-over decline in jobs every month since April’s 7% year-over job loss. September continues to show a decline but of less than 1%. 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!

Downtown SLC Snapshot – Week of October 16, 2020 Workforce – 25% of downtown SLC office workers are working from their offices this week. Restaurants/Bars – 141 restaurants and bars are offering take-out and/or dine-in service – a slight increase since September 18 and up 88% since May 12 (75 open). Visitor Economy – Convention district hotel occupancy at approximately 51% of 2019 levels, a 21% bump up from September 18 – likely due to the Vice Presidential Debate held at the University of Utah. Retail – 90% of downtown retail stores are open. Traffic has been growing each week, with a high percentage of shoppers purchasing products. Source: Downtown Alliance
