Counties. These employees were involved in managing all of the forest resources, not just timber. The $28 million they received in wages and salaries was about one-third as much as the earnings of all employees in the wood products industry. When payments received by all forest-related employees of the State and other Federal agencies and by employees of the tourist industry are considered, count- ing only the wood products industry employment seriously underestimates the contributions of the forest resources to Montana's economy. Workforce Characteristics6 Employment in the wood products industry is concentrated in those occupa- tions which, on the average, are characterized by the least formal education. A quarter of all employees are classified as laborers, which is the largest proportion of any of the manufacturing industries. The workforce of the wood products industry is relatively young, with only a small portion over age 45 (table 9). Sawmills and millwork plants, which include plywood production, and paper and allied products firms have compara- tively young workforces. The industry's dependence both on weather conditions and on seasonal employees is reflected in the proportion of employees who work year-round (see table 8). These proportions are about the same as for the United States as a whole. The seasonal nature of employment for wood products, for the construction industry, and for lodging (highly tourist-dependent), is pictured in figure 40. 5Abstracted from a forthcoming publication by Intermountain Station entitled 'A profile of forest industry employment in Montana' by Richard L. Porterfield. 80
