Uintah Basin Economic Discussion (TV Interview)

Tyson Smith, Regional Economist

I was recently asked to do an interview with VTV6 in Vernal, Utah. Chris Piner, one of the hosts of Local Point, focused the discussion on the Uintah Basin's economy, but we also touched on national and international issues and the role of the Utah Department of Workforce Services in the labor market.
