The pay isn't great but the living is cheap. If you apply to Dept. of Revenue or Dept. of Administration ITSD I can help you target your application and put in a good word for you.
MT State Government is chronically shorthanded. Even with 7% vacancy targets, the hiring is incessant. I'm not sure if Missouri and Illinois have the same problem.
Probably not your first choice but the benefits are good and it pays the bills.
