Well with 2% unemployment, you should be able to get any job you want and name your price. Right ?

Seriously though, check out some of the other Montana threads and posts on here concerning that low unemployment rate before you take it to seriously.

For Billings, Montana the job market have been growing here...Its up to what kind of work you are looking for??? But, there is the very good job that are at the Stillwater mine working underground...So to find out what kind of work you are looking for I could check into it.. We have watch Billings grow here from 1995 to 2007... The question is what kind of work are you looing for????

Go to this web site for the truth about Billings area housing market. Do some research on the job market. There is an abundance of service jobs--waiting tables etc that pay low. Unemployment statistics are misleading, look at other posts under Montana regarding this. Many of us must have two jobs to make a living.

There are a lot of jobs in Montana and Billings......
They must be some of those jobs we hear about that are the ones Americans won't do.......they are also the jobs Mexicans won't even do because pay is so bad.....But we Montanans will do 'em, we got no choice

We visited Billings for a few days last year, great place. Clean, well laid out, and the people were nice.

Here is a link to the Billings newspaper classifieds. From the few days we spent in Billings we came off with a good impression.

I think were ever you are at in this state you will work two jobs or 7days a week to make ends meat! I know my wife and I work 6 and 7 days a week, we see each other every now and then. If we could only win the lottery we could enjoy MT.

Exactly what I've been telling people about Montana but lol, many don't seem to believe it and keep coming. Guess they'll find out.
