Idaho business tax incentive draws fire from employer, conservative group
To Jeff Sayer, former director of the Idaho Department of Commerce, news that Illinois human-resources services provider Paylocity had chosen Boise as home for its new office was proof that Idaho’s new business incentive program was expanding the state’s economy.
Paylocity promised in September to create 551 jobs paying an average annual wage of $46,200, beating the Ada County average of $43,000. Statewide, Idaho’s average wage of $38,300 ranks lower than every state except Mississippi, according the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"Not only does Paylocity get my tax dollars, now I have to compete with them for employees, since they do much of the same kind of work I do," Gersema said. "Well, gee whiz, thank you, Legislature of the state of Idaho. Thank you very much."
