Benefits built around Bonneville County
Idaho Falls, Ammon and Iona sit in a county carrying 63,445 covered jobs, and health care is the largest single piece of it. Employers here hire in the same market as three hospitals and two school districts, and nearly three in ten of the people working in the county drive in from somewhere else. Here is what we check before we put a plan in front of you.
Three hospitals, one network question
Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center on Channing Way is a 304-bed hospital and a Level II Trauma Center. It runs a burn center, a Level I intensive care unit, a pediatric intensive care unit, a Level III neonatal intensive care unit and a Primary Stroke Center, and it describes itself as the largest medical facility serving Southeast Idaho, Western Wyoming and parts of Montana.
Mountain View Hospital on Coronado Street cares for infants born as young as 22 weeks in its expanded neonatal intensive care unit. Idaho Falls Community Hospital sits alongside it and appears on the state’s top-employer list in the 500 to 999 band.
We check plan networks against all three before we recommend anything, so your people are covered wherever they already go.
Who Bonneville County employs
Covered employment was 63,445 in 2025 at an average annual wage of $51,018. Education and health services is the largest sector at 18,019 jobs, up from 16,247 the year before. Trade, transportation and utilities follows at 14,243, then leisure and hospitality at 7,594, professional and business services at 6,606, construction at 4,799 and manufacturing at 4,162.
The state’s named top employers include Bonneville Joint School District, Idaho Falls School District, Melaleuca and Walmart in the 1,000 to 2,499 band, with the City of Idaho Falls, Bonneville County and Idaho Falls Community Hospital at 500 to 999.
Two school districts, three hospitals and a large private manufacturer set the local benchmark for what a benefits package looks like. Every smaller employer is recruiting into that same market.
A county people drive into
The state’s commuting count puts 41,333 people living and working in Bonneville County, with another 29,575 employed here but living outside it. A further 17,327 residents went the other way for work.
Idaho Falls accounts for 22,019 of the jobs held here and Ammon 5,971. Iona sends 1,034. Pocatello, Rexburg, Blackfoot, Shelley and Rigby all send workers in as well.
So we check networks across every town your roster drives in from, not only the one your office sits in.
Ten years of growth
Covered employment in Bonneville County went from 47,519 jobs in 2015 to 63,445 in 2025. Education and health services carried most of that, rising from 11,613 to 18,019.
Average annual pay across all covered jobs was $51,018 in 2025, and $46,811 inside education and health services. Leisure and hospitality averaged $20,345, which puts a very different affordability question on the same renewal.
Headcount that moves like that changes which plan designs fit from one year to the next. We start every renewal from a fresh census and price against the county your people actually work in.
