With an unemployment rate hovering at 3.7 percent, Idaho has about 28,500 people out of work and looking for a job.

But Idaho employers have left about 22,000 jobs vacant, Gov. Butch Otter said Wednesday, "because we did not have the talent for them."

During his annual address to the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce, Otter touted education as the key to developing a work force that can meet the needs of employers.
