Idaho’s 9 Lowest-Paying Jobs are Some of the Most Important

Every Idaho job is essential. 

If the global pandemic taught us anything, it's that every job is an important job. No one wins when we diminish or dismiss the any form of employment that contributes to Idaho's economic success.

Unfortunately, however, some of those jobs pay less than what it costs in gas to get there. Still, we need them. The backbone of our society, they keep Idaho's economy on track without fancy titles, glamorous perks, or even the most basic benefits.

Most of us won't miss Idaho's underpaid workers until they're gone. 

It's sad but true. These folks do the jobs most of us see as beneath our skill, class, or education level. Yet they're the tasks that keep Idaho ticking and thriving. The gallery below is a snapshot of nine of Idaho's hardest-working, most poorly paid employees.
