Data from the Montana Department of Labor in 2018 indicates that 73% of total job openings in the state over the next decade will require a high school diplo- ma or less. Currently, 66% of Montana’s workers hold jobs requiring high school completion or less. However, national data provided by the department during the hearing shows that the bulk of workers in the skilled trades are older relative to other jobs. Among all workers nationwide in 2013, 23.6% were age 45–54. Among skilled laborers, that number rose to 32.4%.
