Manufacturing in Montana: Gains in productivity don’t match gains in employment

The manufacturing industry in Montana has experienced a much more robust growth than the industry overall in the U.S. since the Great Recession that started in late 2008.

Between 2009 and 2015, manufacturing employment in Montana grew by 10.9 percent and now employs roughly 23,000 people. In the U.S. overall, manufacturing employment has grown by 4.7 percent.
