Employers must start hiring, gov says, for Idaho’s economy to improve

What Idaho's economy really needs is for employers to begin hiring, Gov. Otter said, though many have been reluctant to do so in part because of uncertainty about health care reform and other issues. "We must use our bully pulpit to encourage those who can help to take a chance on our state's future," he said, "to pay it forward by embracing those less fortunate among us. Just as our Project 60 partners are working with us to create and sustain the right business climate in Idaho, the time is now for our citizens and businesses to show confidence in our communities, our neighbors, and ultimately ourselves."
