Is Idaho a Good State for Getting a New Job in 2023?

While it is the Christmas Season and most of us are thinking about the holidays, it’s also a popular time of year for craving a fresh start and setting new goals.

There’s a recent article from WalletHub that shares a complete list of the best and worst states for finding a new job. They say...

“Job hunting is never easy. Between searching for employment openings, updating résumés, contacting references, and preparing for interviews, it’s hard work. Luckily, it’s a good time to be looking for a job, as many employers are desperate to hire, which gives a lot of leverage to applicants when it comes to negotiating good compensation and benefits.”

Another thing that can make things difficult for you, though, is not knowing where to go for work — the kind of work you actually want.

Thankfully, WalletHub did all of the research for us. They said, “In order therefore to determine the most attractive states for employment, WalletHub compared the 50 states across 35 key indicators of job-market strength, opportunity, and a healthy economy. Our data set ranges from employment growth to median annual income to average commute time.”
