Part of it was the 2000 data - the other, which indicates the percentage of each county who travels outside their home county for work, came from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey between 2007 and 2011.
My guess is that the number might be higher - but it's still probably single-digits and one of the smaller percentages of any Utah county.
Here's the survey:
