Economic opportunities remain steady in rural Idaho
Idaho is synonymous with rural. Big skies, open spaces and mountains are as rugged as the brand of individualism prevailing in the state where the population continues to increase. In 2023, 1.96 million people called it home. From 2013 to 2023 over 350,000 people flocked to the Gem State. While Idaho’s urban counties claimed 79% and the lion’s share of this growth, Idaho rural counties also experienced significant change.
Idaho sets record lows in claim duration and unemployment rates
 Idaho’s 9.3-week average duration of unemployment claims during 2022-2023 was the lowest in the state’s history and the second lowest in the nation. By comparison, the U.S. average was 15 weeks. Similarly, the state’s 2.7% average unemployment rate for 2022 was the lowest since records began in 1976, eclipsing the previous low of 2.9% in the historically tight labor market of 2018 and 2019.
