The Last Best Jobs
The Last Best Place is an endorsement for the state of Montana – centered around the values of open space, strong community, natural beauty, and quality of life. The city of Bozeman has staked its claim to being one of the best cities in the US to live in and it’s economic growth continues to climb. In recent years, we’ve watched the real estate market explode, a tech hub emerge, and a millennial-gold-rush-tesla-pilgrimage of sorts arrive.

So whether you’re a tech nerd (like us) or fall into another category, there are plenty of other industries to explore — agriculture and forestry, healthcare, manufacturing, food and beverage, tourism, travel, and recreation, and more.
