Where is Montana’s highest demand for temporary foreign workers?

In Montana, Madison and Gallatin counties are leading the demand for temporary foreign workers, making up 41% of the state's 4,470 certified positions in federal fiscal year 2025. This drop of 3.3% from the previous year highlights a shift, largely due to reduced H-2B program certifications in nonagricultural sectors. This trend underscores the ongoing reliance on foreign labor in specific regions, despite overall decreases, pointing to continued challenges in the labor market.
