That's true for any state. Not sure what you're getting at. It still equates to better wages than most of the country.
It's not like if you go down the list to Michigan that it's strictly single-income homes contributing to their number.

I only thought that because of all the Utahns saying it was the case

I wonder how much of Utah's ranking is impacted by higher marriage rates.

I’m guessing way fewer women work in Utah than most states though.

We probably have a lot more teenagers working too. Dropping the median wage

I can't imagine it would be enough to drive it down that much

Do you think they're more common in Utah than they are outside of Utah?

Kids gone on missions for two years might balance that out a bit too

You think Utah has more dual-income earners than the rest of the country? I doubt that.

Then explain the stark difference between household income vs wages?

More low paying jobs on average...like the kind that our many teenagers do.

Highly unlikely this is the reason.

Its actually a very reasonable if not probable conclusion.

Utah pay has definitely improved relative to the rest of the country in the last

Would that also include the family living in the basement and also working?

Yes? Just like all the other states. Utah still #11.
