She stopped in Hobby Lobby down in Twin Falls, they are advertising for entry level help at 17 bucks an hour. Go figure that.
Idaho has lots of small businesses that haven't kept up with the economy.
We've got manufacturing facilities/companies that apparently think it's still the 90's. Some offering 13.00 an hour and can't figure out why they don't get many applicants and the few they do get can't pass a background or drug test.
