Be a part of the solution

Idaho has reached a record number of unemployed. And it's only going to get worse. We need more jobs, now, and there is no immediate fix.

Every single day I have multiple people ask me if I know of any jobs. I hear about some here and there, but they're getting fewer and further between. And it's only going to get worse.

I usually just scheduled one about the time people started asking when the next one would be.  After a while, as the events started to grow it became apparent that we would need to move to a set monthly schedule.

We should all be grateful that a group of smart and talented citizens has emerged and is attempting to create ESTech - the Eagle Star Technology Corridor. This is a welcome addition to the economic development efforts in the Treasure Valley. ESTech has attracted the attention of legislators such as Mike Moyle and Raul Labrador who are doing what they can to aid the effort.
