HELENA â
As unemployment falls, Montana businesses continue to struggle to find workers.
Earlier this May, the Governor's Office announced plans to opt out of pandemic unemployment assistance and give workers receiving unemployment a one-time bonus for securing employment.
As more people are vaccinated and restrictions ease, business is returning to normal.
âBusiness has been coming back rapidly. Itâs going to get much more intense,â says Toby DeWolf, owner of Bert & Ernieâs in Helena.
The return to normal could be challenging for businesses as they compete for workers in a tight labor market.
