North Central Idaho • Manufacturing - The manufacturing sector is showing new vibrance. Manufacturing jobs are back above their pre-recession level of 4,060. • Health care - including hospitals and nursing homes–pulled back a bit this year. Some changes in federal reimbursement, and reduced demand by locals. The long-term prospects are bright. • Construction remains a major drag, but there are some signs that will change in the next year.
South Central Idaho • Manufacturing (+360) • Manufacturing was a winner over the last five years up 4.6 percent or 360 jobs regionally relative to the state’s decline of 16 percent. • Healthcare and Social Assistance (+724) • This highly profiled industry saw the most growth in Blaine and Twin Falls counties where the St. Luke’s effect supported growth to the tune of 22.7 percent and 15 percent, respectively -outperforming the state at 14.2 percent.
South-Eastern Idaho - Evidence of recovery can be found in the number of job openings posted with the Idaho Department of Labor in Southeast Idaho. In 2011 the region experienced a sharp rebound in job openings as the number vacancies rose to 7,012. Given the current trend 2012 is expected to see more total openings than the year before. South-Eastern Idaho has withstood the recent recession better than the other regions of the state. Currently, southeastern Idaho has the state’s second lowest regional unemployment rate, just one-tenth of a percent behind Eastern Idaho, at 6.1 percent in September. Three major factors are responsible for the lower than average unemployment in the area. The presence of the Idaho National Laboratory and Idaho State University stabilize the area economy.
Eastern Idaho • It looks like 2012 will produce more job openings on IdahoWorks than we had in 2007. The only thing that could stop it is a really poor holiday hiring season which isn’t in the forecast.
