You can't use the per capita number for comparison here because of Utah's far above average proportion of population still too young to work (and wearing diapers). You have to use the per worker pay scale, which was slightly above average last year. You then have to adjust for the CSA cost of living index. After that is done, SLC ranks very nicely from a worker's prospective. Phoenix where I am does not fare very well. I crunch these kinds of numbers for a living.
