The part public data can't show you
The best Boise City moves are rarely the posted ones.
Employment counts tell you a market is real. They do not tell you which Boise City groups are quietly building, which firms flex on class year, or where your book and background put you at the front of the line. That is the read we give every attorney we work with, confidentially, before anything is sent anywhere. For the full state picture, including posted demand by practice area, see the Idaho market.
