~Unemployment rate
steady at 3.2 percent~
Minnesota employers added 2,900
jobs in March, according to seasonally adjusted figures released today by the
Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED).
DEED added that job cuts
in February were revised from 1,300 jobs lost to 200 jobs lost. Over the past
year, the state has gained 21,250 jobs, an increase of 0.7 percent. U.S. jobs
were up 1.6 percent during that period.
In the
Metropolitan Statistical Areas, all regions gained jobs in the past 12 months:
Minneapolis-St. Paul MSA (up 0.8 percent), Duluth-Superior MSA (up 1 percent), Rochester
MSA (up 0.1 percent), St. Cloud MSA (up 0.6 percent) and Mankato MSA (up 2.2
percent).
DEED has
added a section to its website that examines the unemployment rate by
demographics (race, age and gender) and looks at alternative
measures of unemployment.
DEED is
the state’s principal economic development agency, promoting business
recruitment, expansion and retention, workforce development, international
trade and community development. For more details about the agency and its
