About the only category that Idaho leads in, when compared to other states, is the difference between high tech wages and the average state wage. Idaho’s average high tech wage is $67,200 a year a whopping 107 percent higher than that state’s average wage of $32,400.
With that kind of gap one would think that the state would be clamoring to create more high tech jobs and pull Idaho out of its long-standing reputation as a haven for low-wage jobs.
