The challenge

NUEA has published a labor and economic overview of northern Utah for five years. For the 2026 edition, it wanted deeper analysis of the region’s industries and a report that would be easier to update year after year.

What Alpen did

Alpen analyzed the region’s workforce, industry clusters and growth outlook, and added a new, detailed industry cluster section. We coded the report so NUEA can refresh it cleanly with each year’s data.

Outcome

NUEA published the report in August 2026. Because Alpen coded the analysis for automated updates, future editions will cost about half as much to produce, saving NUEA thousands of dollars a year.

“Their insight and analysis was first rate… The Alpen analyst team was prompt, professional and most of all asked the right questions to take our report to the next level.”
