I don't have data, but Utah has a highly educated population and a limited number of jobs. Employers can pay less because there is always a qualified person who will accept less.
I believe the high number of bankruptcies in Utah has everything to do with the gargantuan homes carving up the mountain side and the brand new SUVs all over the roads. It has little to do with family size or tithing.
Also, my impression is that there is a prevalent "keeping up with the Joneses" attitude in Utah. Sure, this is everywhere, but when your next door neighbors are also your ward members it becomes magnified.
