Governor Walz Announces Minnesota Ranked a Top State for Jobs
November 1, 2024
Governor Tim Walz today announced that WalletHub has ranked Minnesota a top-three state for finding a job. This announcement follows Wednesday's news that Solventum, a global health care company, will make a $200 million investment in Minnesota. WalletHub's scorecard used 34 indicators of job market strength and economic health. Minnesota received top rankings for median household income, access to benefits, job opportunities per capita, support for working parents, and low unemployment.
"With a strong job market families earn more, save more, and are able to dedicate more time to their families," said Governor Walz. "We don't just create jobs in Minnesota – we create good jobs that pay well, provide benefits, and offer protections. That has always been our guiding principle and I am glad to see that effort reflected in data."
