IDAHO, USA — Some of the highest projected employment growth in the region is driven by occupations in health care, construction, personal care and services, as well as transportation and material moving.
These occupations made up 35% of total job postings in North Idaho over the last year while accounting for 25-30% of regional employment, according to Lisa Grigg, Idaho Department of Labor economist for north-central Idaho.
"Between 2022-2032, total occupational employment in northern Idaho is expected to increase by 13,000 jobs and all of these sectors have a faster projected growth rate than the overall economy," Grigg said Thursday. "Over the next 10 years, employment may realistically increase more than 20% for health care and personal care occupations and may exceed 15% for construction and transportation occupations."
