And now for some good news. In a recent article from Forbes, Salt Lake City was named a ‘Top 10 Best Cities for a Coronavirus Recovery’. The data and ranking comes from Moody’s Analytics who has issued a report that examines the potential to recover from coronavirus among the top metro areas in the U.S.
How did they come up with the ranking methodology? In analyzing the cities, Moody’s looked at population density and plotted it against two measures of workforce quality, both using educational attainment along with the average density across counties to calculate regional exposure to COVID-19.
While much of the next year is uncertain with coronavirus recovery, it is clear that the pandemic has impacted cities across the country with varying force.
It just might be the start of a new trend, moving away from more densely populated urban areas to less densely packed areas in the country. And businesses will need to follow the workers.
