Description: Utah's economy is booming, but the number of poor has remained fairly constant, with many of the newly created jobs going to transplants from out of state. On Being Poor in Utah presents a portrait of Utah's poor and the issues surrounding poverty in the state. It provides a detailed statistical analysis of poverty's causes, varying concentrations of people living below the poverty level, housing and education problems, and health and nutrition issues.
