OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMY
FIGURE 1.1: MAP OF UVU SERVICE REGION
This chapter provides a high-level overview of employment
and demographics in the economy of the UVU Service
Region, defined by Summit, Utah, and Wasatch Counties
(see Figure 1.1). The goal of the chapter is to provide data
on the economic and workforce employment trends that
either already exist or are developing in the region. Such
information is crucial in building awareness of the region’s
labor force – both now and in the future – and identifying
priority areas where educators can focus their attention.
The chapter examines employment and demographics in
the UVU Service Region according to the following five
indicators: jobs by industry, jobs by occupation, commuting patterns, unemployment, and educational attainment.

Table 1.6 and Figure 1.7 on the next page present the
number of people unemployed by industry sector in the
UVU Service Region. Data reflect May 2014 and follow the
same methodology used by the federal statistical agencies
to determine the number of workers in an industry that
are not currently employed. The unemployment rate is not
provided because it is difficult to accurately determine the
size of the labor force in a given industry on a monthly
basis. Rather than the unemployment rate, the percent of
all unemployed for the region and for the nation are provided to display which industry sectors have the highest
concentration of unemployed workers.
As shown in Table 1.6, the category with the highest
number of unemployed is in a non-industry labeled as “No

EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT
FIGURE 1.9: EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT OF ADULT
POPULATION IN THE UVU SERVICE REGION
This section describes the educational attainment of the
population in the UVU Service Region for adults aged 25
years and older. This information is useful for educators
targeting specific population groups that have low education levels. Educational attainment data in this section are
presented by gender and by ethnicity and are broken out
according to the following categories: 1) less than a high
school degree, 2) high school degree, 3) some college,4 4)
associate’s degree, 5) bachelor’s degree, and 6) graduate
degree and higher.
Overall Educational Attainment
Table 1.8 and Figure 1.9 display the educational attainment
of the overall adult population in the UVU Service Region,
without reference to gender and ethnicity. In the UVU Service Region, the percentage of the adult population with a
high school diploma or less is 25%, which is less than the
national average of 44%. These data suggest there is still
an opportunity for educators in the UVU Service Region to
boost the percentage of adults with an associate’s degree
or higher (currently this percentage sits at 47% for the
4
The “Some college” category includes individuals who attended college
but did not successfully obtain a degree and individuals who have
received a postsecondary vocational award or professional certification
but did not receive an associate’s or bachelor’s degree.

diploma,” “High school diploma,” and “Some college” categories. Together these categories total 170,250 people, or
53% of the entire adult population in the region. Between
2009 and 2014, the proportion of the overall adult population with “Less than a high school diploma” increased by
0.5 percentage points but the proportion of adults with a
“High school diploma” decreased by 1.1 percentage points.5
Meanwhile, the proportion of the adult population with
either “Some college” or a “Bachelor’s degree” increased by
0.7 and 0.8 percentage points, respectively. The proportion
of adults with an “Associate’s degree” or a “Graduate degree
and higher” decreased slightly (0.2 percentage points and
0.6 percentage points, respectively).
Educational Attainment by Gender
The distribution of educational attainment by gender is
fairly even in the UVU Service Region. Males are slightly
more likely to have “Bachelor’s degree” or “Graduate degree
and higher” level of education while females are more
likely to have “Less than high school diploma,” “High school
diploma,” “Some college,” or “Associate’s degree,” levels.
This information appears in Table 1.9 on the following
page and Figure 1.10.

The column labeled “% Change” in Table 1.8 refers to the proportional
change, not to the percent change between 2009 and 2014. For example,
if a category comprised 20% of the total adult population in 2009 and
25% of the total adult population in 2014, the proportional change is
equal to the difference between the two values (in this example, 5%).

INTERPRETING GAP/SURPLUS
ANALYSIS RESULTS
The gap analysis is intended to serve as a point of departure for UVU as the University discusses regional workforce needs. A surplus or deficit of workers in a particular
category does not necessarily indicate a problem for the
region, and it is important that each occupation group
be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Evaluation of the
program supply (surplus and gaps) will provide an understanding of the role skilled occupations play in economic
sustainability and growth.
Other information should also be considered when
evaluating these surpluses and gaps. For example, only
Once evaluated internally within the University, spe-
cific implications should be considered for programs with
substantial surpluses or gaps. These implications include:
• Surplus: Oversupply of specific education completers
may lead to higher attrition rates (i.e., brain drain). In
other words, the region is educating a workforce that
is leaving after program completion because of a lack
of jobs. Note: In the analysis of the UVU Service Region
where the neighboring population density is high in
neighboring areas, a surplus of completers may indicate the need for service region residents to commute
outside of the service region to find job opportunities.
The commuting pattern flows described in Chapter 1
suggest that this is possible.
• Gap: Undersupply of specific program completers may

PROGRAM-TO-OCCUPATION
MAPPING
Table A2.1 displays the crosswalk between educational programs (CIP codes) and occupations (SOC codes) that EMSI
used to complete the gap analysis. Also listed are the adjustment factors which were applied to the annual openings
figures for each occupation within each program. The methodology for these factors is described in Appendix 3, with
the program based weight figure recounted under “De-duplication of Annual Openings” and the educational level
adjustments recounted under “Education Level Adjustments.”

10 These data come with inherent weaknesses. First, numbers are only
available for institutions that participate in or are applicants for any
federal financial assistance program authorized by the Higher Education
Act (HEA). Also, IPEDS does not account for the fact that some people
may receive multiple degrees or certifications, so when the number of
degrees awarded exceeds the number of people receiving the degrees,
the number of completers can be overstated. Nevertheless, this system is the best source for collecting data regarding a broad range of
educational institutions.

ALTERNATIVE GAP ANALYSIS
CALCULATIONS
EMSI de-duplicated the annual openings shown in Chapter 2 to account for the magnitude of output from different
educational programs in the region. The process is explained in detail in Appendix 3 under “De-duplication of Annual
Openings.” This procedure is designed to reflect the unique supply and demand dynamics of each regional economy.
However, EMSI also recognizes that in some cases a student from a less predominant educational program is a more
likely candidate to be offered a local job. These alternative supply and demand calculations give equal weight to every
job opportunity within students’ field of study, regardless of whether that program is a big or small player in talent
development for the region. Therefore, these estimates should be considered as less conservative measures than those
from Chapter 2.
