This study analyzes data from a 2010 survey on the employment experiences of 939 LGBT people living in Utah. The study found that 44% of LGB people and 66% of transgender people in Utah have experienced employment discrimination. Respondents’ qualitative responses indicated that LGBT Utahns have faced several forms of disparate treatment in the workplace because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, including being paid less for the same work, being asked to work longer hours, and being assigned less desirable shifts.
