[Vision2020] Employment statistics per county

[Debbie Gray]

Here's a little help on navigating the census factfinder site. If the
info below doesn't help, email me and I can ask my brilliant office mate
for further guidance (she will probably glare at me for
this... so i am not using her name...) Also Idaho Commerce & Labor has
tons of stuff at: http://cl.idaho.gov/portal/ (under statistics and
research)

Go to:
http://factfinder.census.gov/home/saff/main.html?_lang=en

In the box where it says get a fact sheet for your city/county/etc,
type  LATAH then
select Idaho (or whatever county you are looking for)
click GO
this will bring up a fact sheet for latah (you could also get one for
moscow)
scroll down to 'economic characteristics' and click 'see more'

Then you will see
