Salt Lake City, UT recently was ranked #6 on the Forbes.com list of America’s Recession-Proof Cities. The median home price rose 2.5% from fourth quarter of 2006 through the 4th quarter of 2007. Unemployment was up slightly to 3.1% and key growth was in the education and health service areas at 5.5%. The state is creating jobs, but not as quickly as the labor force is growing.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors projected in November 2007 that Salt Lake City would be one of the few large cities in the country not to suffer a decline in gross metropolitan product from the mortgage crises.
Salt Lake City followed, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, and Charlotte.
The first quarter of 2008 has shown a bit of slowdown, and there are bargains to found.

Salt Lake City is the main place to fly in if you are from far away and there are non stop flights to it from more than 100 cities! There are bus and limo services that are very well maintained which means that you really don’t need to rent a car while you are visiting unless of course you want to stay or visit resorts like Alta or Brighton which are further out.
While you are in Park City, there are dozens of places to stay from renting your own weekend home, to exclusive Bed and Breakfasts, to resorts and hotels! If you plan on visiting during the ski season, then you will most likely want to spend your days on the slopes, but if you come during the off season, there are plenty of things to do as well. Park City is full of great little shops to browse and galleries to look through. There are also many places to go fishing, hiking and swimming.
In the evenings, you will want to check out the night scene at places like Sidecar at 333 Main St. With a cover charge of only $5, you will be able to enjoy live music, a heated outdoor deck and great thin-crust pizza. Or you could try out the Spur Bar and Grill at 352 Main St. With leather bar chairs and fireplaces, its a great place to kick back and listen to a range of music from blues to bluegrass.
