    Earlier this week vaccine maker Novavax said it had shipped millions of doses of its updated COVID-19 shots to distributors around the United States.

    According to the Idaho Department of Labor Idaho had the number one growth rate in the nation over the last 10 years, jumping up by over 21%.

    We've talked a lot about how all this growth has created a housing crisis in Idaho, but there's an aspect of such a fast growing population we haven't mentioned - kids, schools and the state's future labor force.

    Idaho's growth has not been even across the state and that means uneven student enrollment in schools. What will future enrollment look like? And what will this all mean for our labor force over time?

    Economist Lisa Grigg with the Idaho Department of Labor joined Idaho Matters to help answer these questions.

    Each year, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, the country celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month which was established to honor the many contributions that Latino Americans have made to the fabric of our society. From the economy to politics to medicine the impact is immeasurable, especially when it comes to the creative community.

    As the month comes to an end we wanted to take some time to showcase the influence of this rich culture in Idaho through the eyes of three artists. Writer Tomas Baiza, poet Hannah Cook and painter and sculptor Veiko Valencia joined Idaho Matters to talk more.
