Utah must confront talent shortage, executives say

Utah's economy will struggle if the state's talent supply doesn't meet demand, area business executives said at the Utah Technology Council's annual members meeting Wednesday.

Business leaders called for partnerships with universities and support of K-12 education programs in order to raise a skilled workforce to meet demands for talent.

The business leaders say the shortage in talent is also hindering companies that are trying to keep up with growing industries. Deseret News
