Not only is it hard work, doing it in the Treasure Valley pays off.If you trade is working with your hands or designing places where hotels and homes are to be built then Boise is the perfect place to call home. The Associated General Contractors say that the Treasure Valley has one of the best places to be a construction worker. We have all seen so much growth in the last year in the Downtown Boise area alone and with all the new buildings and hotels like Inn At 500 and the work and repair on the Main Street Station the jobs creates an amazing ripple effect for the economy in the city.

With the increase of jobs, comes the increase of money being spent in the city while workers from out of town come to Boise, and once they come and start the work a good majority of them end up staying.
