  • Hispanic-Profile-Data-Book-2017
    1 2 Highlights Idaho Hispanics make up … 12% of the total population 12% of the labor force 18% of K-12 public school students 27% of the uninsured 2% of Idaho public school teachers 3% of registered voters Three-fourths of Idaho’s Hispanics were born in the U.S. 9-in-10 live south of a line from Payette County to Madison and Bonneville counties. Hispanics accounted for: 30% of the state’s population growth between 2010 and 2015 42% of K-12 public school enrollment growth between the 2010-11 and 2015-16 school years 37% of employment growth between 2009 and 2015 However, Hispanic population growth in Idaho is slowing. On an annual basis, the population grew 9% in the 1990s, 7% in the 2000s, and 2% from 2010-2015. In terms of education, Idaho Hispanic students are less proficient in basic subjects and less prepared for college and career than non-Hispanics, based on standardized test scores. Students in the English Learner program score the lowest on standardized tests. Compared to non-Hispanics, Hispanics in Idaho have higher unemployment and poverty rates. They also have lower average annual wages and household income. However, their economic well-being has improved since the recession. The Hispanic unemployment rate is down 8 percentage points; the non-Hispanic rate is down 4 points. The Hispanic poverty rate is down 5 percentage points; the non-Hispanic rate is up 1.5 points. The number of employed Hispanics is up 34%; the number of employed non-Hispanics is up 6%. What accounts for these findings? First, Hispanics are more likely to be in the labor force and to work in growing occupations and industries.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Idaho Fiscal Facts is a pocket reference guide de- signed to provide legislators with convenient access to facts, figures and trends in Idaho’s state budget, as well as selected information on state government programs, taxes, demographics and state rankings. Though not a comprehensive fiscal report, Idaho Fiscal Facts will answer many frequently asked questions, in a format that is more accessible than would be found in a comprehensive fiscal publication. This booklet has been published annually since 1995. Idaho Fiscal Facts is organized into three major sections: I. The Revenues & Expenditures section provides tables, graphs and narratives which outlines the history, source and distribution of state revenues, as well as, statewide budget information. II. The Functional Areas section includes more detailed information on specific state agencies, programs and trends using ten-year comparisons between FY 1994 and FY 2004. III. The State Facts & Demographics section includes more general information of statewide interest including population trends, Idaho rankings nation- ally, and an overview of the Legislative Branch of government.

Your time is important and we thank you for assisting us in this endeavor. Similarly, we would like to thank specific individuals and agencies for their assistance in our data collection efforts: Misty Kifer and her staff at the Statistical Analysis Center provided us with the IIBRS data and explained the coding process. Luann Dettman and her staff at the Idaho Council on Domestic Violence & Victim Assistance shared their reporting data from funded agencies. The Department of Criminal Justice at Boise State University provided additional funding for the site visits as they were not part of the contractual agreement for the assessment, but turned out to be enormously illustrative. Juan Lopez, Department of Criminal Justice at Boise State University, was invaluable during the planning, instrument development, and data collection phases of this study. Kourtnie Rodgers, Department of Criminal Justice at Boise State University, delivered much appreciated, last minute, assistance on the tables in this report. On a separate note, we want to thank the Idaho Council on Domestic Violence & Victim Assistance for allowing us the opportunity to conduct this two year study.
