Montana Faces Economic Challenges
Montana is experiencing economic challenges due to job losses and credit issues, exacerbated by a forecast of a colder winter.
A recent report by Moody's Analytics indicates that Montana is already in a "recession," however, it also notes that only one state in the Greater Northwest is not facing a similar situation.
- Persistent weakness in the economy
- Initial stages of job loss
Mark Zandi, an analyst, believes the U.S. is on the "precipice" of a full-blown recession, with Montana being one of 22 states showing trouble signs.
According to Zandi, major factors contributing to this situation include federal job cuts, uncertainty caused by tariff policies, and flat job growth.
