Montana's Trade Outlook Bright In 1940 Payrolls
Montana's 1940 January to March payrolls in industries covered by unemployment laws totaled about 21.1 million dollars with roughly 65,000 workers employed. The report by Barclay Craighead notes a 2.3 million rise over 1939 and 7,000 more winter workers, excluding railroad labor. The commission cites ongoing mine activity in Butte and other towns, rising retail sales, and unemployment payments boosting cash business. Farm hiring increases follow a late wet spring, with construction lag now easing. Weather bureau predicts a very wet April 1940 in the region.
