The University of Idaho says a new report shows the unemployment rate of Hispanics in the state climbed to 15 percent during the worst of the recession.
The university announced Dec. 3 the findings of the report, which was prepared with help from the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs and analyzed jobless data over a three-year period.
The report says the Hispanic unemployment rate more than doubled from 7 percent in 2007 to 15 percent in 2009, when the state’s economy appeared to have bottomed out
Idaho’s overall unemployment rate at the end of last year was 9.2 percent, the highest it had been since the early 1980s when the jobless rate climbed to 9.4 percent.
