The Utah Department of Workforce Services compiles quarterly employment and wage data for non-agricultural employers in Utah. Data is maintained at the establishment level (e.g., store, plant, or other type of permanent worksite facility). Since these establishments are assigned an industry and county code, their employment and wage data can be aggregated into common industry and county groupings for analysis purposes.
Employment and wage data for Utah’s non-agricultural employers are categorized in this publication by employment size for the month of March in each of the designated years. Grouping data by this criterion provides a useful tool to analyze the characteristics of Utah employers. For example, general trends of the size of Utah employers and employment concentrations by employer size class can be observed. Wage levels for large, medium, and small firms can also be evaluated.
In this publication, data is presented for both establishments and firms. The term "establishment" is generally defined as a specific physical worksite for an employer. For most employers, this is the actual street location at which business is conducted. For others, with no permanent worksite (such as salespeople, factory representatives, or distributors) it is the location from which they conduct their business (sometimes even residences).

Basin to Become "BEAR" Country
After months of preparation, the Business Expansion and Retention (BEAR) program is being rolled out in the Uintah Basin.
Carbon and Emery counties have been running the BEAR program since January 2006. To date, the program there has conducted face-to-face visits with nearly 1,300 businesses. The goal is to learn more about each company, then link the business to local, county, regional and state resources.
More than $1.8 million in grants and tax credits have been awarded to 78 businesses in the two counties, 111 jobs have been created and 39 jobs have been retained. In return, more than $8 million has been invested by companies in the counties. “We want to have similar success in the Basin,” Lucero said. “A team of interviewers has been trained and is ready to meet with business managers.”
A 15 to 20 minute interview is conducted, after which the BEAR representative enters the data into a computer system with referrals. The representatives sign a confidentiality agreement that prohibits them from sharing information with other parties.
BEAR partners include more than a dozen local and state organizations. A partial list includes the Small Business Development Center, Uintah Basin Applied Technology College’s Custom Fit training program, VISTA, Utah Vocational Rehabilitation, Utah State University, and the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
Those interested in learning more about the BEAR program should contact Hansen at 435-722-4598 or Lucero at 435-781-6767.
