Idaho’s unemployment rate dropped slightly in March to 9.4 percent as 2,700 people found work, according to the Idaho Department of Labor.  That’s the first time the jobless rate has declined in more than two and a half years, but it remains close to a record high.  Idaho is still below the national unemployment rate, which held for the third straight month at 9.7 percent. Idaho’s two largest metropolitan areas, the Treasure Valley and Coeur d’Alene, posted modest job growth in March, continuing a reversal of months of decline that started in February/Brad Iverson-Long, Idaho Reporter.

Question: Do you think less Idahoans are unemployed today? Or simply that some Idahoans have hit the end of their rope and are no longer eligible for unemployment benefits?
