In 2005, Montana recorded a population of fewer than one million-- but that doesn't mean the state lacks job opportunities. Since 2003, Montana's economy has enjoyed rapid growth, taking the state from 47th to 39th in per capita income. This kind of economic growth makes the state an excellent destination for career training and education. Major cities include Yellowstone, Missoula, Billings, and Flathead.
Montana's economy is largely based on its agricultural output of wheat, barley, oats, rye, cherries, and ranching. In addition, mineral extraction and lumber create jobs for the state. Montana's tourism, however, has also become increasingly important. Millions of visitors seek out Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks and Little Bighorn each year.
