On his Facebook page, Sisyphus has a link to the of the statehealthfacts.org site of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, which shows that Idaho leads the United States in something. Alas, it's "State Economic Distress." In a survey of three combined categories (housing foreclosures, changes in unemployment, and food stamp participation), Idaho ranks No. 1 in the nation, followed by New Jersey, Florida, Georgia, and (tied at No. 5) California and Hawaii. Broken down, Idaho is No. 6 in foreclosure rate; No. 2 in unemployment change rate; and No. 9 in food stamp change rate. You can read numbers for all the states here. Also: Idaho demographics are broken down further here.
