If you took a time machine back 10 years, and then 100 years, the U.S. Census would provide a pretty good trans-dimensional map of how the people and places in Utah have changed.

Prevailing wages build great projects and communities
The United States, since 1931, has required that a living wage, a prevailing wage for each region of the country, along with suitable retirement and health care benefits be paid on any job spending significant federal funds.

Many municipalities also sign Prevailing Wage Agreements, PLAs, to ensure workers building local schools, firehouses, parks, and libraries are given wages that with hard work, will give them a career to support their families and a solid middle-class lifestyle.
Houston Methodist finds multiple cases of significant coronavirus mutations, including Brazil strain
Infectious disease pathologists have sequenced more than 20,000 genomes of SARS-CoV-2 virus
Newswise HOUSTON-(March 2, 2021) – Houston Methodist discovered 28 cases of coronavirus variants in its latest batches of virus genomes sequenced from patients with positive COVID-19 tests, including what might be the state’s first confirmation of four cases of the Brazil variant known as P.1. Houston is the first city in the U.S. to have all the major variants documented by genome sequencing.
“There is evidence to indicate that the Brazil P.1 variant may spread faster and be resistant to certain vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapies – much like the South Africa variant known as B.1.351 – and may still be able to cause disease in some people who are inoculated with Pfizer or Moderna vaccines,” said James M. Musser, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department of Pathology and Geno
