S&K Electronics Brings High Tech Opportunities to Montana’s Flathead Reservation

The present-day Flathead Reservation differs vastly from the six other reservations scattered across the state, beginning with its population. Roughly three out of every four residents are non-native, according to the census data from 2000. It’s a stark contrast from the demographics found in more remote reservations in Montana like Rocky Boy’s or Fort Peck. Unemployment is also lower and average income is higher than on other reservations in the state.

At S&K Electronics http://www.skecorp.com/ in Ronan the demographic ratio is flipped, with close to two-thirds of the company’s workforce registered as native.
