According to the Department of Labor and Industry, Montana easily beat the national jobless rate, which ticked up to four point two percent.
Total statewide employment grew by nearly four hundred jobs last month, while the number of unemployed Montanans fell by roughly three hundred eighty.
However, payroll jobs saw a decline of thirteen hundred positions, driven mostly by seasonal cutbacks in food service, lodging, and finance.
Consumer prices rose six tenths of one percent in September, largely fueled by a nine percent jump at the gas pump.
State Labor Commissioner Sarah Swanson says the agency is working closely with local businesses to address workforce shortages and help workers step into higher-paying careers.
