Jobs

It's good to love your job, and if you work at one Boise grocery store, you really love it.

The Gem State continues to see good economic news, at least in the category of unemployment, as Idaho's unemployment rate remains steady at 3 percent for a half year.

Over the last few months, we've heard how libraries are more popular than ever (especially in Idaho). Evidently, that trend might not be extending to book stores.

It's no surprise if you've driven through downtown Boise lately, construction job growth in the State of Idaho continues to be strong (and the Treasure Valley isn't even the strongest).

We have heard that our Idaho State economic conditions have looked good this year, and another indicator seems to be backing that as our unemployment rate is the lowest since 2008.

There's a national shortage of school bus drivers right now, and that's impacting Idaho.
Some school districts are desperate to find drivers, and they're willing to pay nice bonuses to attract them.

They say keeping up with the Jones' can steal your happiness and satisfaction quickly, but sometimes, comparing to your neighbors helps you know if you're doing alright.

It seems over the last few months, we've heard Boise job growth continuing to grow and Idaho outpacing the country on new jobs.  Now, we're hearing of a loss of 65 jobs in Boise.

I love seeing things like this.  The Boise Parks and Recreation Department has received the "go-ahead" from the City Council to hire 10 residents of the Interfaith Sanctuary Shelter.

Idaho has topped another list of states in the country, though this one might surprise you.  Our growth rate for jobs was four percent, and that gave us top honors in the Nation.
