Yet you showed that there is quite a lot of searching for Utah jobs. So, this must be indicative of turnover - that is, EMPLOYED people are searching for jobs, not UNEMPLOYED people. This could be a sign of employee dissatisfaction with their jobs. And search the unemployment rate is so low in Utah, people can easily quit a current job and find a new one. Utah's job market is now an "Employee's Market" in the same way that the housing market is a "Buyer's Market". It's the classic forces of supply v. demand.
