Scope and Content
Under the direction of the State Planning Board and with the assistance of the Works Progress Administration, a statistical survey of industustrial trends was made for eleven western states. The purpose of this survey was to collect the basic materials necessary to make a comparison of Utah's industrial position in the economy of the region with that of the other states and to compare the trends in industrial growth. This study was valuable in determining factors responsible in part for the population movements within the region, net migration from the state, and other problems of interest. Included are basic compilations for agriculture, livestock, manufacturing, and minerals. Following those is a tabulation of the total study. They made a special report on Carbon County which records population, employment, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, education, and other public resources. There are alsostudies on domestic and foreign corporations, percentages of forest land in the state, and mortgages in Utah.
