Employment in Idaho is currently not too good. However, Oregon is anti-business and some good small companies are moving there.
I had some great contracts that I could work from my home office in Pocatello until Obama took office. They dried up overnight. The pay for similar work inside Idaho is 2/3 to 1/2 of what I was earning. I had to take a contract position in San Diego to remain employed at my current salary. I’m hoping Obama is booted and some of the work I did in the past will return. Living 900 miles from my home and family for over 3 years is not fun.
