NEED FULLER UTILIZATION
OF STATE'S RESOURCES
Montana must increase its income-producing capacity to a considerable extent if significant population gains are to be made, according to a study just published at Montana State University.
"This means fuller utilization of the bountiful natural resources of the state to create more and better jobs and favorable business opportunities.
Otherwise out-migration will continue to offset much of the natural population increase and Montana will continue to lose some of the best of its youth to other sections of the country," the analysis concludes.
The study, "Population and Income in Montana," by Professors W. Gordon Brodeur and Harold J. Hoflich, was published by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research, in the School of Business Administration.
The study includes (1) an analysis of 1930-1950 changes in Montana population for the state as a whole, seven water development areas and the 56 counties, with respect to residence (rural farm, rural-nonfarm, and urban), sex, and age groups; (2) estimates of future population changes in the state, and (3) income sources and trends in the state from 1935 through 1951.
