The number of Idahoans with health care insurance in 2022 increased from 89.2% to 91.8% compared to pre-pandemic data for 2019, according to the recently released American Community Survey.
Nearly all of Idaho’s larger counties reported a greater share of the population covered by health care insurance, except for Bonneville County.
Young Idahoans have the opportunity to fill much needed jobs in Idaho by utilizing Idaho Launch funds.
Graduating high school seniors may be eligible for a grant paying up to 80% of their tuition and fees after high school, up to $8,000. Applying for grants opened today, Oct. 3.
“LAUNCH is a game changer for our young Idahoans. Through LAUNCH, Idaho is recognizing that hundreds of career paths after high school deserve our support by offering up to $8,000 to cover the costs of an education or training program that leads to an in-demand career. These are ‘real world’ jobs Idaho employers desperately need to fill,” Gov. Brad Little said.
