(AP) The owner of a fast-food restaurant in Sidney, <A class=kxInlineLink title="Click here to view all related stories" href="http://www.kxmc.com/t/montana">Montana</A>, ran a newspaper ad offering up to $10 an hour to compete with higher-paying jobs in the nearby <A class=kxInlineLink title="Click here to view all related stories" href="http://www.kxmc.com/t/oil">oil</A> fields.<BR><BR>But the only calls John Francis got were from other business owners upset that they would have to raise wages. And his current McDonald's employees also wanted a pay increase.<BR><BR>Francis says there's just nobody around that wants to work.<BR><BR>With unemployment rates as low at 2 percent, Francis isn't alone in struggling to find employees.<BR><BR>An economist says the trend has been 15 years in the making.<BR><BR>Established baby boomers are moving to Montana, creating a demand for new homes and thus, higher paying construction jobs.<BR><BR>Younger people have moved away searching for bigger paychecks.<BR><BR>And employers have been slow to increase salaries.<BR><BR>Economist Larry Swanson says new trends are coming. He says instead of retiring, older workers will go into semi-retirement, while the increased wages mean young people will be able to stay in the state.<BR><BR>By AP Writer Matt Gouras (Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press.
