Report: Montana average wage still the lowest By SARAH R. CRAIG, AP Wire
Montana is still the worst state in the nation for average wage per job, but the state has improved slightly in terms of total average income over the past few years, a new report from the state Department of Labor and Industry shows.
The average salary is $26,900 per job, just behind South Dakota's average of $27,200, Phil Brooks, the agency's chief economist said Thursday in presenting the annual Labor Day economic report.
