Valley County Labor Market Information

Valley County is the 30th most populous county among Idaho’s 44 counties. After a brief period of declining population in 2002, more than 1,400 new full time residents have moved to Valley County since then, a growth rate of 18.9 percent. At various times of the year there seems to be many more people in the county than the population figures indicate as the number of well-off second homeowners have risen. In addition, the robust construction activity fueled by Tamarack Resort and its land buyers and investors has contributed to a large number of construction workers from out of the area living in Valley County while working on the myriad of construction projects. The weekends are also very busy as hundreds of people flock to the area from Ada and Canyon counties to take advantage of the multitude of recreational opportunities available in Valley County in every season.
