DEED in the News
Minnesota gained 100 jobs in May according to figures released today by DEED. The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained steady at 3.3 percent in May and the U.S. unemployment rate was 3.6 percent. April’s job gain was revised downward from 3,600 jobs to 200, and annual gains fell to 4,164 jobs or 0.1 percent.

Minnesota added 100 jobs last month, the state jobs agency said, or maybe it was just 51. Because the agency rounds data to the nearest hundred, it could have been either number or any up to 150. New data released Thursday showed the state unemployment rate held at 3.3% for a second month after rising in April from the March level of 3.2%. But it also revealed that the state’s job market has stalled out.

She says a bigger contributor may be an ongoing recovery from The Great Recession.
