Pay is low? Above the national average. 

[abundamundo]

There is work but pay is low. Things are cheaper than in the West Coast so it can be very affordable. Mostly sunny or dry, some snow mostly on the hills. About five to fifteen snowy days, about fifteen to thirty rainy days THE WHOLE YEAR! Cooler or cold most of the year. Very hot in the summer. Beautiful surroundings, lots of things to do outdoors and in the city. Must be fit and energetic to enjoy, not for couch potatoes (pun intended)

How's the job market there? And how dark and rainy is it there?

@walkonhome How is the weather bad? We usally don't have a bad winter. It snows everyelse in the country and is cold in march you retard.

[themccoy500]

@walkonhome Ummm. We have no air quality problems. Get a live and stop trashing. Boise is amazing.

[walkonhome]

@christopherwilmoth There is no music scene in Boise and I travel way too much. The air quality in Boise is and will become a bigger problem, but the rest of the state not so much. You are obviously a redneck who likes burning things, fireworks, and must either be very young or an idiot. Keep filiming yourself playing with gas and maybe someday you might get a Darwin Award.

@walkonhome girl? haha. some big businessman? trying to compare the music scene in boise to austin is like comparing the bagels here to new york. and, guess what, religion has too much of an influence EVERYWHERE. tell your friend to put her snowboots on and make the move. its clean, friendly, and one of the highest quality of life cities in the nation. where you from anyway? the weather is personal preference. i know most people here ARE here because of the weather. aaaand again....puss. haha

[walkonhome]

@christopherwilmoth Calm down little girl. I am just trying to save someone from making a mistake and moving to Boise.  Some people like it, to each his own, but low paying jobs, construction based economy, horrible weather 5-6 months out of the year. Religion has too much of an influence in boise, the city is run by complete morons, from the mayor to the city council, redundant unnecessary layers of bureaucracy. If you do business in boise, you would know what I am talking about.
