Historic Montana Job Growth Continues in August

HELENA, Mont. – Governor Greg Gianforte today announced both the number of Montanans working and the size of Montana’s labor force grew to new all-time highs in August, according to data compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Montana Department of Labor & Industry.

“Hardworking Montanans are fueling our strong economy, which grew at the seventh fastest rate in the country last year,” Gov. Gianforte said. “With more Montanans working than ever before, business owners are filling positions in key industries like health care, construction and manufacturing.”

Since Gov. Gianforte was elected in November 2020, nearly 32,000 jobs have been created in Montana.
