Gov. Dayton has hired a new state official as part of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). Karen Francois will begin May 4 as the new Assistant Commissioner, Office of Career & Business Opportunity. Francois will be focusing on four main areas: better career and business opportunities, business practices, and state government.
Gov. Mark Dayton has hired a new state official to bolster diversity in Minnesota's workforce and close long standing racial disparities. James C. Burroughs will be the state's Chief Inclusion Officer. Burroughs is charged with leading efforts across state government to increase the percentage of state jobs held by people of color, as well as increasing economic opportunity for persons with disabilities and others underrepresented within the state’s workforce.
Met Council report explores reasons for
racial disparities in Twin Cities
On April 12, Metropolitan Council
released a report discussing the disparities between white residents and people
of color in the Twin Cities metro region. Black residents − although equal in
age, immigrant status, and English skills − were worse than white residents when
it came to things such as employment and hourly wages. View the full report on the Met
Council website.
In
case you missed it, a March 21 Star Tribune article outlined Governor
Dayton's $100 million plan to reduce disparities in housing, education,
and jobs.
Governor
Dayton’s Diversity and Inclusion Report
Governor
Dayton established the Diversity and Inclusion Council by Executive Order 15-02
in January 2015. The council released the 2016 Diversity and Inclusion Report in January updating policymakers
and Minnesotans on efforts to improve diversity in the state’s
workforce and business supplier chain, and to more equitably engage
diverse people, communities, and businesses in the work of state
government.
