Governor Walz Announces Minnesota as a Top State for Jobs
News
Governor Tim Walz today announced that Minnesota is the third best state for jobs in the country, according to a recent study from WalletHub.
"Minnesota is one of the best places in the country to find a good job, build a career, and raise a family," said Governor Walz. "Our state's strong economy, highly skilled workforce, and commitment to supporting working people are helping Minnesotans succeed. This recognition reflects the results of our work to create jobs, grow businesses, expand workforce training and make sure people can thrive here."
Minnesota ranked third overall, earning the nation's fourth-best ranking for economic environment and sixth-best ranking for job market conditions. The state's strong showing was driven by its third-highest median household income, adjusted for the cost of living, and its 11th-highest average monthly starting salary. Minnesota also stood out as one of the nation's best places for working parents, ranking seventh for working mothers and fifth for working fathers.
