I was just going to say that. A significant percentage of women in Utah don't go to college, or don't graduate, don't work outside the home, and raise more than the US average number of children, and children are expensive. All of that negatively affects income.
Utah has more than its fair share of college educated men, and quite a lot of white collar workers compared to the number of blue collar workers. It ought to be a pretty high GDP per capita state, yet it is not. I blame that mostly on how women fare in Utah. Can't blame tithing for low GDP.
Take a look. Last year Utah was not even in the top half. And in past years it has been even lower.
