Chamber of Commerce: Helena still needs workers
June 23, 2019/

The workforce needs of Helena-area businesses continue to rise to the forefront as the unemployment rate dipped to 2.6% – leaving only 700-900 people in the work pool designated as currently not working. Employers are very challenged in recruiting (and retaining) good skilled workers! A recent discussion with St. Peters Health CEO Wade Johnson revealed that they have about 150 positions to fill and are constantly in the hiring process. He estimated that approximately 25-40 new employees go through their orientation process that happens every two weeks.
