It isn’t enough to boast that Montana has a low unemployment rate, just 3.6 percent as of October 2007, Sheila Stearns, the state’s commissioner of higher education, said Friday.

Stearns, the keynote speaker at this year’s University of Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research economic outlook seminar, highlighted the importance of developing a competitive and educated work force.
