As federal lawmakers debate how to avoid falling off the looming fiscal cliff, a report commissioned for the Aerospace Industries Association shows Idaho could lose 10,411 defense-related jobs. The U.S. could face job losses totaling two million, according to the report.
Automatic budget cuts are scheduled to go into effect in January, unless lawmakers come up with a new plan. Emilie Ritter Saunders/StateImpact Idaho
