Examining the Problem
of Short Job Duration
by Barbara Wagner, Senior Economist
In 2010, the Montana Department of Labor and Industry conducted a survey to estimate the number of "green" jobs and businesses in Montana. About 3.6% of Montana's workers are employed in green jobs, and about 22% of Montana's businesses were involved in producing a green product or service.
Researchers at the Montana Department of Labor and Industry discovered that less than a third of workers retain a job for four quarters after being hired. This article explores the causes of and possible solutions to Montana's short job duration problem.

Job Retention and Worker Skills in Montana's Economy
by Barbara Wagner and Aaron McNay
The movement towards more sustainable production and reducing energy use has changed the way that Montanans do business, and it has resulted in businesses hiring more workers whose job duties are connected to conservation and environmental protection.
Did you know that in Montana only 50% of newly-hired workers hold the same job six months later? Montana's New Hires Survey seeks to find the reasons behind this statistic, and promote solutions that will benefit all Montanans.
