Great Falls Metro Employment Up!

Data released this morning by the Montana Department of Labor shows that the Great Falls Metro Area added 1,056 jobs from January 2013 to January 2014!

January 2014 employment set a new record, topping our old record set in January 2008 by 256 jobs!

We also set a labor force record for the month of January. This January’s labor force size was 664 people higher than the old record set in January 2008.

We still have a long way to go. Our unemployment rate in January was 5.4% with 2,225 people looking for work in the metro area. The Great Falls Metro Area is the same geographic area as Cascade County.

We need to keep working together to put more people to work and to recruit workers to come home to Great Falls or to relocate and join our community for the first time.

Untame your entrepreneurial spirit!
