Idaho Employment Outlook Still Grim:
Idaho's jobless rate increased by a tenth of a percentage point in August reaching 8.9%. Despite the Federal Government's continued extension of unemployment payments, many Idahoans have dropped out of the job search. The number of people in Idaho working or seeking worked dropped to 756,000. Although the private sector added 1000 new jobs allowing new hires to increase to 13,000 for only the second time this year, the jobless ratio (the ratio of unemployed to jobs) still sits at 7 unemployed workers to 2 job openings.
This economic environment is one where you should question "why was I fired?" or "was I discriminated against during the hiring process?" No one can afford to lose their job or not be hired now.
