Min. wage in Idaho is 7.25 hr. No-one get that. Fast food is between 11 and 14 hr..rising to 15 after a year or so.Why not drop the minimum wage back to 7.25 per hour and see if people apply?
Factory work..of which there is plenty in Twin Falls..starts at around 17...and rapidly climbs to 22--on the average.
But...groceries are 1/3 less than Cali..gas is $2 less a gal. and we have NO homeless. At all.
1 bedroom apt 550-650 a month.
No social services the fed does not mandate. Some of the worst schools in the nation.
A paradise for a retired outdoor type.
