(BOISE, Idaho) -- Idaho's unemployment rate has dropped to the lowest it's been in nearly six years, the state's Department of Labor announced Friday.
According to the department, Idaho employers maintained traditional hiring levels in April, leading to the unemployment rate declining to 5 percent last month, from 5.2 percent in March.
The last time the rate was 5 percent or lower was July 2008.
The national unemployment rate went from 6.7 percent in March to 6.3 percent in April.
