Bannock County Industry and Wages
The trade and service industries provide nearly half the jobs in Bannock County.  This tends to lower the overall average of wages in the county because many of these jobs are food service jobs which are part time and pay the lowest wages.  The comparitively low cost of living in the area offsets the wage shortcomings.
