Dorsey & Whitney - An International business law firm, applying a business perspective to clients' needs in Missoula, Montana and beyond.

A survey of 410 workers in Missoula and another 690 in Kalispell and Bozeman showed that job seekers view a good "work environment" as even a higher priority than their wage. They also want to be challenged at work, have flexible schedules and to feel their work has meaning.

That’s according to LC Staffing, a local company that is trying to help employers attract and retain workers as the state experiences a historically low unemployment rate.
