According to the latest numbers from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, Minnesota teens currently have the lowest unemployment rate and highest labor force participation rate since these records started being kept in 2002.
Overall unemployment in Minnesota is 2.8%, which is low, and Minnesota’s labor market is very tight – there are currently almost two job openings for each person seeking a job. This means it's a job seeker’s market – a great time to look for employment!
