Idaho Capital Sun: Idahoans seeking unemployment must report five job search activities each week starting this summer.

The new requirements start July 7, according to an Idaho Department of Labor news release. Idaho previously required two work search contacts each week.

Acceptable work search activities for unemployment filing under the law include submitting a resume or job application to employers, or uploading it to a job board; completing an employer interview or skills test; completing a job search workshop or mock interview; and more.
