Utah Tech Leads Releases Results Of Community Priorities Survey

Salt Lake City – Utah Tech Leads, the nonprofit association representing Utah’s technology industry, today is releasing the results of their annual Community Priorities survey. This annual survey identifies the personal and professional needs of the tech workforce in the state. 

Sunny Washington, Utah Tech Leads CEO, stated “Tech companies tend to be extremely nimble. As representatives for this community, it is important that the association have a clear understanding of the needs of our companies and workforce. As their priorities change, so do ours. This year, the top issue everyone is feeling is the cost of living in Utah. From the price of a gallon of milk to the price of running payroll, everyone is painfully aware of Utah’s inflation.”

Priorities are as follows:

• Cost of Living
• • Inflation
  • Housing Affordability
• Diversity
• Economic Opportunity
• Environmental Issues
