ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is reporting another record-low unemployment rate for June.
The state’s jobless rate dropped two-tenths last month to 1.8 percent.
DEED says June’s decline was entirely due to people moving from unemployment to employment as the labor force participation rate rose to 68.5 percent. The state gained 100 jobs last month and the May numbers were revised upward by 7,500 jobs.
Minnesota has added more than 91,000 jobs since June 2021.
