Idaho’s record low unemployment rate comes at a price.

Employers are struggling to find the workers they need after the state’s annual average jobless rate fell to 3.9 percent in 2005 — the first time the rate has been below 4 percent.

Idaho Commerce & Labor said there were 12,578 unfilled job listings statewide as of last Friday, including 6,221 in the Treasure Valley.
