Abstract: In the modern pursuit of the American Dream, people move around the country for jobs, education, or a different quality of life. In Montana, one in seven people moved in the past year, or roughly 15% of the population. While over half of movers stay within their own county, the remainder move long distances from other states or between counties in Montana.1 Migration of people into and around Montana is important for labor force and economic growth. Montana’s well-dispersed cities and large rural areas in between make moving necessary for many workers seeking jobs. Many employers also rely on workers’ willingness to move to staff their businesses. This month’s article explores the migration of workers into, out of, and within Montana to highlight its role in Montana’s economy.
