According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as of December 2021, Idaho has roughly 910,000 employed residents in the labor force. This number has increased steadily by roughly 2,000 each month. The number of unemployed Idaho workers has steadily decreased, and it was at its lowest at that time of 2.4%, with 22,000 people looking for work as of December 2021. This rate was well under the national unemployment rate of 4%. Also, according to the BLS, most industries in Idaho have either seen employment growth or it have remained steady, which means they have neither added nor lost jobs in those industries. The two exceptions to this are Professional and Business services, which lost 1.7% of its workforce, and Professional and Business Services, which dropped 3.4% of its workforce. Overall, however, Idaho’s new job numbers are 1.2% higher in 2021 than in 2020, but still slightly below the number of jobs added in 2019.
