Now hiring: With economic recovery, Montana job market friendlier to workers

December’s unemployment rate was 4.1 percent in the county, about half the national rate.

Billings Job Service has as many as 900 job postings with some companies hiring multiple people, said manager Ryan Van Ballegooyen.
