	Intermountain states - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The intermountain states (also Intermountain West and the Great Basin) of the United States of America are generally considered to be Utah, Idaho, and Nevada.
		The intermountain states are so named because they lie between (or at least amidst) the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada and the Cascades.
		The intermountain states are included among those states considered as the Mountain States.

		The Intermountain states of Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah are the top tier among U.S. states in terms of the pace of job creation in the twelve months ending in October.
		Among the Intermountain states, Nevada continued to be the fastest growing, at a 5 percent average annual pace of job growth in September and October.
		State payroll employment is estimated to have increased at an average annual rate of 3 percent in September and October, which brings the average rate of employment growth in 1996 through October to 2-3/4 percent.

	High Aspirations in the Rocky Mountains: The Push for a Western Region Presidential Primary
		States are increasingly cramming their delegate selection events into the first part of the season, resulting in secured nominations by the end of March.
		States realize that only a few of them really have influence on presidential candidates, and those are the states which have either an early, trend-setting primary, such as New Hampshire, or a significant number of delegate votes, such as California.
		States were classified relevant if they conducted "a primary or caucus that receives considerable attention from candidates and the news media and has a major effect on who receives the party nomination for president." According to Loevy's study, only one intermountain west state was deemed relevant, Colorado.

		Policy and regulatory status appear to vary widely throughout the Intermountain West, and while several states have strong regulations in place, the majority are struggling to push for more formal regulations than the loose compilation of policy guidelines under which they are currently operating.
		Most Intermountain West states use this estimate, but it was pointed out that there are regional differences in water use habits that could affect the use of these numbers.
		While most states shared these as priority issues, several others had unique concerns, such as the abundance of specific nutrients (mainly nitrates and phosphorus) in their ground water, licensing and certification issues, persuading legislatures to turn "guidelines" into rules, and the regulatory problems associated with sparsely populated locales.

		On average, these states grew by 1.8% a year and produced only 30% of the nation's new jobs even though they contain half the country's population.
		Ironically, if the election were held today, states that benefited most from the decade's booming economy would overwhelmingly reject the candidate of the party under which they flourished.
		In the battleground states, there is a rough parity between constituencies attracted to either the slow- or fast-growth model.

	Economic recovery and Labor Availability in Wyoming
		However, Wyoming employers will require access to sufficient qualified labor outside the state, and their ability to secure this labor will be driven by the pace of economic recovery elsewhere in the region.
		These two states, as well as Montana (though much smaller), have sizeable urban populations in close proximity to Wyoming and interstate access to neighboring states, facilitating the movement of labor and supplies across state lines.
		With some variation among states, current economic data support the idea that the Intermountain West’s overall employment situation is recovering from the effects of the national recession.

		Although the state unemployment rate is low, at 5.2 percent in June, it actually edged up over the course of the second quarter.

		In 1860 Utah's manufacturing sector employed 14 percent of Utah workers; the Intermountain states' average was only 5 percent.
		Utah was not unique among western states in the size of its manufacturing sector--manufacturing in all western states amounted to only 8 percent of earnings.
