Corporate Recruitment Growth Results in Thousands of Utah Jobs Highlighting recent corporate expansions Utah experienced unprecedented economic growth in 2019, with more than 13,000 new jobs created and over $1 billion in new capital invested across 21 new corporate expansion projects. With that momentum from 2019, Utah’s economic development officials had every expectation of surpassing 2019’s performance in 2020. But COVID–19 had different plans.
