Salary cap: Southwest Montana ahead of most of state in average wages

Is $40,000 a year a lot of money for someone to earn?

Probably not after that person learns that the highest average wage in Montana was $238,640 in 2013.

Of course, $40,000 is still more than double the lowest earners in the state — taking in an average $18,150 as gaming dealers.

The Chronicle analyzed 2013 Montana Department of Labor and Industry occupational wage data to look at how much money Montanans were earning, where they were making it and how that compared across the state and to the nation.
