Guest opinion: New training puts Montanans to work in high-demand jobs – The Department of Labor continues to focus on programs that address our workforce shortage.

Montana created 4,600 jobs and reported the fourth fastest wage growth among states over the last decade. Over the last year, average wages increased by 3.2 percent, and all regions of the state experienced wage gains. Wages over the rate of inflation increased by 1.3 percent, meaning Montanans can afford more goods and services with their earnings.

The state continues to foster entrepreneurship and added 2,940 new businesses last year. These enterprises are critical to supporting Montana’s economy as approximately 45,000 Montanans are employed by businesses created in the last five years.
