Of course it does. Regardless of what some non-member conspiracy theorists might think, the salaries are the same for member and non-member alike. So you could say the non-members are casualties of the "I want to live in Zion" folks. It's Economics 101. Employers pay what the market will bear. Because of heritage, large extended families, etc. many people choose to stay in Utah and work for much less than they could make elsewhere. And I mean elsewhere in terms of places where the cost of living is the same or less, not the coasts.
I do find it intersting however, how many young families there are in my ward and others around here that are from Utah. I wonder what % of Utah native BYU grads stay in the state after graduation. I bet it's a lot lower than it used to be.
And those are the smart ones. The others are among the ones filing bankruptcy IMO.
