Want to know the wages for your line of work? Take a look at this link from the Idaho Department of Labor. It's the Occupational Employment and Wage Report. It covers the whole state of Idaho, but for Boise-Metro scroll down to page 77. I'm not sure how often they update this link or if the link changes as each year goes by, but this one is for 2007.

boise jobs classifieds - craigslist

I'd also add Boise State, NNU, College of Idaho somewhere in there.

Default Boise Surrounding Area

Does anyone have a graphic or link of the greater Boise Area highlighting areas within Boise. Something that a newcomer or potential transplant can use to get a better understanding of the nuances of the area. I looked on the sticky but didn't see anything. Thanks.
