10,000 jobs could disappear in rural Montana as business owners retire, official says

As many as 10,000 jobs are at risk of disappearing in rural Montana over the next five years because small business owners are nearing retirement and there’s nobody willing to buy their companies and keep workers employed.

"When a little town like Circle loses a manufacturing company with three to four employees, that’s never coming back," said Wayne Gardella, the Montana district director for the U.S. Small Business Administration.
