Earlier this year, Gov. Mark Dayton and Lt. Gov.
Tina Smith proposed $100 million to expand economic opportunities and
eliminate disparities faced by racial and ethnic Minnesotans.
According to DEED data, racial and ethnic Minnesotans have higher unemployment
rates than the white population in the state. The unemployment rate for white
Minnesotans was 2.9 percent in May, compared with 10.7 percent for African
Americans and 4.9 percent for Hispanics. The Minnesota Legislature approved $35 million
for equity programs, which Gov. Dayton signed into law last month.
The 2016 Minnesota Veterans Career Fair was held at the Earle
Brown Heritage Center in Brooklyn Center last Wednesday. The event included a ceremony
featuring the Palmer Lake VFW honor guard from Brooklyn Park (above). About 700
veterans and over 240 exhibitors participated in this year's career
fair. DEED and the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs were the
sponsors.

Urban Scholars - City of Minneapolis
Urban Scholars was developed by the Equity Division of the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights. This division was established to address racial disparities in employment as a result of the 2011 Economic Policy Institute report that said the Minneapolis region has the worst employment disparity between whites and non-whites in the nation. This sobering fact resonated with elected officials and department leadership especially considering that the population of Minneapolis is over 40% people of color. In the summer of 2012, the City Council passed Resolution 2012R-456: Supporting Employment Equity in Minneapolis and the Region that declared institutional racism as a critical factor in the disparities. The
State of Minnesota is proud to partner with the Urban Scholar program. This
year the state of Minnesota has hired 77 scholars, 16 of those scholars are spread across 9 state government agencies.
