The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has released detailed national unemployment statistics for the United States in September.
Idaho has the lowest unemployment rate in the U.S.
More stunning, the top 4 job markets are Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Boise and Couer d'Alene --- out of 369 metro areas including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc.
Idaho Falls had a 1.3% unemployment rate --- Pocatello was right behind at 1.7%.
The unique things is that our job growth is not driven by any one company or sector.
Sure, agriculture is a big deal. So is the massive Idaho National Laboratory run by the U.S. Department of Energy. But, so are a host of local high tech companies and locally-grown entities like Melaleuca, Docu-Tech and a host of others.
