Highest-earning cities in Utah
Data shows that annual income depends heavily on an individual's educational attainment, race, ethnicity, gender, and even location. Geography is a substantial factor in earning potential: According to the USDA, those with a high school diploma or more education earn more in urban settings than rural settings.
Large businesses tend to operate out of cities, which also have larger markets and thus more demand for production and the jobs that come with it.
