So, Atlanta has a 10.2% unemployment rate which is above the national average of 9.7% salt lake city just barely hit 6% and is slightly lower then the rest of the state. So in regards to unemployment we are definitely more stable then Atlanta. Unfortunately they are FAR more educated then we are. 28% of SLC's metro population over 25 has a bachelors where as 33% of Atlanta's metro population over 25 and 39.9% of Atlanta proper has at least a bachelors.

So 33% to 28% - not that great a discrepancy. I also think that because of all the major companies in Atlanta, it's necessary to have a higher degree. The more major companies in SLC, the higher amount of degrees. I think five decent Universities within a 50 miles radius of Salt Lake will go a long way.
