Montana sees fifth-highest job growth in the country since the onset of the pandemic

August 30, 2024/

Montana added more than 75,000 jobs since the onset of the pandemic.

That gives Montana the fifth-highest job growth in the nation in that time, according to market analysts with S&P Global.

The bulk of those jobs are in the health care, education, and tourism fields. Those industries experienced big losses during COVID, but now employ more people than before the pandemic.
