Some local numbers: Canyon County is sitting at 8.9%, a 5% increase from last year. Ada County is sitting at 6.3% a 3.7% increase from last year. Gem County is at 9%, a one year increase of 4.9%.
More troubling is that there are several Northern Idaho counties that have unemployment rates over 10%, including Clearwater County which has a 13.6% unemployment rate.
And more than likely it will only get worse before it gets better.
