It's not huge news, but I find it interesting to see how fast Utah's population growth is far outpacing many states. Here's a link that shows a graph of state population increases:

It looks like Utah is approaching "Middle America" as far as population goes. What I find encouraging is not just the increase in population, but an increasingly healthy and diverse economy as well as a job market that is heavily weighted to professional, high-paying skilled jobs.
