Utah’s post-graduate secret: Why college students “study and stay”

from KSL News Daily

A new report from the Strada Institute for the Future of Work found that nearly one in four of Utah's college-educated workers originally came to the state for school — more than double the national average. But Utah's overall retention of its own graduates falls below the national average. Becky Bruce speaks with the Strada Institute for the Future of Work’s Peter Bahr about what’s driving the trend and what it means for Utah’s economy. Plus: BugFest wraps up at the Natural History Museum of Utah, and Spider Fest is just around the corner. We also cover the three things you need to know, including a new way to stop lightning-sparked wildfires much sooner, your latest chance to weigh in on higher taxes, and why doctors want parents to prioritize back-to-school shots.
