Top 100 employers

One row per employer on Idaho's statewide Top 100 employers list for the 2025 edition, in the department's own published rank order. The Idaho State Controller separately publishes a shorter principal employers list (below), ranked by share of total state employment rather than by employment range; the two lists use different definitions of employer size and do not always order employers the same way.

An excerpt; the full table is below.

Record fields

year: The publisher's edition year for this list (2025). Not a stated as-of date; see caveats.
rank: 1-based position in the workbook's row order, which is sorted by employment range descending; ties keep the sheet's existing order.
employer: Business name exactly as printed, with trailing whitespace stripped.
ownership: One of Private, Federal Government, State Government, Local Government, as printed.
employment_low: Lower bound of the published employment range.
employment_high: Upper bound of the published employment range.

Caveats

Employment is published only as a range (e.g. '12,500 - 14,999') and is stored as such; no midpoint is computed.
The list covers only employers that signed a disclosure agreement; a large employer that declined disclosure is absent from it.
This is the department's Business Listings program, not the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, a separate LMI dataset.
The department labels this the 2025 edition but states no reference date or quarter within 2025 for the employment ranges.
