Utah’s consumer sentiment rose 6.4% in November (from 69.1 in October to 73.6), according to the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute’s Survey of Utah Consumer Sentiment.

“The variation in the index is indicative of the uncertainty people feel about the Utah economy,” said Phil Dean, Chief Economist at the Gardner Institute. “Uncertainty and resiliency continue to be the economy’s watchwords.”
