Looking for work in Utah.

admin

I'm thinking about moving out west. How are things looking in Utah?
Reply:I can't speak from a welding perspective, but Wyoming, Utah, the Dakotas, and other states around here have the lowest unemployment in the nation (around 5%).....
Reply:Southern Utah is beautiful, if you like the red sandstone desert scenery; I do. But it's really HOT down there in the summer. And the population density is low. I suppose there are jobs; but less people may mean less work. Make sure you have something lined up. And if it's in southern Utah, you'd better like HOT. FWIW: I went to Lake Powell for 25 years, on vacation. But we had a lake to jump in. When we went there to ride the Moab jeep roads (off road motorcycles), it was in the spring and fall. JTMC has a good business in NW Arizona, I believe.Edit: It is, however, a dry heat. 9-11-2001......We Will Never ForgetRetired desk jockey. Hobby weldor with a little training.

Reply:Utah is too far north to be hot.  Come to Yuma where it's a bit warmer if you like dry heat.If you are good at fabbing stuff, check out the people that live around the area & are into running Moab.  They may have something you could do.MarkI haven't always been a nurse........Craftsman 12"x36" LatheEnco G-30B MillHobart Handler 175Lincoln WeldandPower 225 AC/DC G-7 CV/CCAdd a Foot Pedal to a Harbor Freight Chicago Electric 165A DC TIG PapaLion's Gate Build

If your welder doesn't work on solar panels, yer out.  I'll admit, I was younger last time I was there and off-road vehicles were the economy. Every motel parking lot was full of 4wd's or off road motorcycles on trailers.
