Idaho is trapped in a self-perpetuating cycle of low wages, low-skilled jobs and low-skilled workers. It has an abundance of all three. What it lacks - in fact, what it is losing -- are enough professional, scientific, technical and corporate management jobs.

It has done little to give Idaho's growing labor force the capital investments it needs to succeed/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Do you know of individuals in professional, scientific, technical and corporate management jobs who have left Idaho seeking better incomes?
