Mormon mom wages could certainly be a factor

For those who think Utah doesn't pay as much

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.

Here are some interesting numbers.

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

This one lists Utah 30th in median wage

Maybe more kids have jobs in Utah

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?

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

Mar 15, 4:49pm

Then explain the stark difference between household income vs wages?

Mar 15, 5:12pm

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

Mar 15, 5:26pm

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

Doesn't this stat show house hold income?

That's true for any state. Not sure what you're getting at. It still equates to better wages than most of the country.

Mar 15, 4:45pm

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

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