A new report shows Minnesota lost over 5000 jobs in December.

Minnesota continues to see higher-than-expected tax revenues and the state's economic outlook is slightly brighter.

The new revenue forecast predicting a $17 billion state budget surplus might have been a bit conservative.

Almost every county in the region still reported jobless rates below 2%.

Despite the job gains, the state's jobless rate has been inching higher.

Total employment levels were the lowest in 8 months.

The shipments were up 28% from last year.

The size of the labor force and overall employment reached new all-time highs.

You have to go back to a year before we even heard of COVID to find the rate this low.

Hourly wages have risen more than $2 an hour in the last 2 years.
