Idaho Stuck In Low-Pay Job Trap

Item: Study: Idaho in low-pay jobs trap /Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: Idaho’s workforce earns nearly $11,000 less for each employee than the national average. That hurts both workers individually and the state, which suffers lower tax revenues to support basic services, a retired University of Idaho agricultural economist’s analysis shows. Economic data suggests that Idaho is caught in a low-skill, low-wage trap, said agricultural economist Stephen C. Cooke, who retired from the University of Idaho in December. He began studying the issue a decade ago.

Question: Would you blame Idaho’s low wages on the Right To Work law?
