Idaho would have ranked in the top 3 except the gem state's emotional and physical well-being dropped the overall score.

I was surprised with where some cities ranked and how others were not on the list at all. While I started with the top 20 I felt it was important to add Boise which made it to #23 on the list of best places to retire in Idaho.

It seems like you cant go anywhere in the Treasure Valley, Boise Metro area without seeing a help wanted sign regardless of industry or business type. Multiple places restaurants and others have had to adjust to reduced hours or close completely for days at a time or even permanently because they cant keep enough people on staff to keep things operational.
