Economy - The Idaho Statesman - Always Idaho

Economy - The Idaho Statesman - Always Idaho: "Idaho's economy will generate about 14,700 new jobs in 2005, according to the annual Wells Fargo Economic Forecast.

But experts say most of those new jobs will be lower-paying service industry work.

Wells Fargo also forecasts that the residential housing boom, which fueled the state's economic recovery over the past two years, will dip slightly in 2005 as interest rates continue to climb.
Ultimately, however, Idaho's overall economic numbers for 2005 will mirror the previous year's, said Wells Fargo economist Kelly Matthews."
