Has Idaho seen positive economic progress in the last decade?

That’s the focus of an upcoming webinar presented through the Idaho Department of Labor.

On Nov. 14 from 11 a.m. to noon, Craig Shaul, research analyst supervisor with the department will review the “many economic changes the Gem State has experienced” in the last 10 years.

The discussion will center on the long-term projections of Idaho’s industries and occupations to provide context for years since 2013. It will include Idaho’s growth and labor market developments.

“Idaho’s economy has helped fuel and been fueled by a population boom for nearly 10 years,” Shaul said. “From 2012 to 2023 thus far, Idaho’s population increased by over 343,000. If these additional residents were to collect themselves to start a new city in Idaho, its population would be 45% bigger than Boise’s 2022 population of 236,632.”

The webinar takes place on Zoom and registration can be found here. This is the last presentation of the department’s labor market information series in 2023 and previous webinars can be viewed on the Idaho Department of Labor YouTube channel.
