Utah has a larger middle class proportionally than most of the rest of the country, and that share has increased slightly in recent decades. The Beehive State has a diverse middle class — including about half of the state’s population that identifies as Hispanic or Latino and more than 40% of every race group — that makes up about half of the state’s population, according to a fact sheet from The Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute. But that doesn’t necessarily mean people who make enough to qualify as part of the middle class feel the security traditionally linked with the label, panelists said Wednesday morning. Housing is the biggest reason for that, said Bill Crim, president and CEO of the United Way of Salt Lake. “Young people who grew up solidly middle class and maybe even have gone onto post-secondary education feel like and maybe legitimately don’t have much of a chance to buy a home and start to do the thing that provides an aspect of middle-class ability, which is asset accumulation,” Crim said during the panel discussion at the Gardner Institute in Salt Lake City. #housing #middleclass #economy #panel By Megan Banta
