I’ve been struck lately by people in my industry who say they can’t hire at entry level, because potential employees go to better paying jobs first…well, have they considered paying more?

Setting aside the non-compete issue, this behavior is more in line with a state that when given an opportunity to attract good paying jobs, does everything possible to prevent that from happening. Jobs are scarce and jobs that pay a living wage are even fewer. There isn’t a “high tech ” boom, just a handful of 1-2 employee start ups that are all owned by and employ men. Women and non-Mormons are routinely discriminated against and if you look at the the background in this case, it was a woman asking to be treated as an equal in a good ol’ boy network. Because there are so few job options, many people have to stay in toxic discriminatory work environments because there is no where else to move without leaving the state. This law is another example in Idaho’s long history of using a sledge hammer approach to a problem that never existed in order to maintain control and prevent change.
