Utah The State

 

Utah’s economy is extremely diverse in comparison to the other mountain states. Manufacturing, financial enterprises, government, and the service industry all play a fairly equal role in Utah’s income. Agriculture does not play as significant of a role but it should be noted that nearly 80% of farm income is earned through the sale of livestock and livestock products. The mining industry is also important to the state economy, particularly in the extraction of copper. Utah is the second largest producer of copper in the United States.
