Gem State Population Growth Outpaces National Average While Job Market Goes Down

By Sophie Miraglio
LEWISTON, ID - According to the Census Bureau, Idaho's population is growing faster than most states. Idaho is joined by 16 other states with growth rates of at least one-percent. The Gem State also has the 13th strongest growth throughout the nation. However, this growth isn't correlating with the job market, as Idaho's labor force has gone down.
