March Recap - The US Economy: 2011 Edition
by Melissa Mickelsen, CBA, Geneva Rock Products
Dr. Aric Krause, Westminster College, Professor of Economics, returned in March to speak on the U.S. Economy. Dr Krause's dynamic presentation style and enthusiasm for his subject are always enjoyed and appreciated by ICEL members. As he began his presentation, he promised that he would try to deliver a more optimistic forecast than he has in previous years; however, many of the statistics he shared did not lend themselves to that optimistic outlook. A few brief highlights include:
Since "the crisis" began in 2007, employment has grown primarily in sectors which are funded by the government, including education and health care. However, employment in professional and business services is also expected to grow in 2011. And the employment outlook is generally moving forward. In Utah, employment in construction and manufacturing is also expected to rise in 2011. View full article
Contractors, Subs & Suppliers
by Rebecca Knaak, Alder Sales Corp
A short recap of HB115 and HB260
Two bills which involve the construction industry--HB260 and HB115- passed in the 2011 Utah general legislative session. The two bills may be further hashed out in a June special session. But currently HB115 goes into effect July 1, 2011 and HB260 goes into effect August 1, 2011.
Here are the highlights, which especially affect contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. Please be aware that this is my simple run down of the new rules, and is not a complete recounting of the laws. View full article
These laws are scheduled for review in 2012 and 2013 and are sure to change, so stay tuned.
