Utah's Tech Employment
By Gwen Kervin, Regional Economist— Employment in Utah's tech sector has been steadily growing, making up a larger share of U.S. tech employment over the last several years. The Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity has targeted the Software and IT industry in its mission to foster economic growth in the state. Within Utah, the tech industry accounted for just over 67,400 jobs in 2023 and paid a total of $9.28 billion in wages, the majority of which were paid out by software publishers and computer systems design and related services companies.
