Wage growth in Missoula outpaces all cities in Montana

It was a good year to be a construction worker in Missoula.

The Garden City was the only urban area in the state to see wage growth accelerate in 2017, mainly due to the frenetic pace of construction of commercial projects, public school additions and multifamily housing.

That was just one of the interesting tidbits a huge crowd learned at the 2018 Economic Outlook Series presented by the University of Montana’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research on Friday at the Hilton Garden Inn in Missoula.
