MN jobless rate ticks up to 3.1 percent; jobs down from a year ago
“Minnesota recorded a relatively low February jobless rate, but it also saw a drop in jobs from February 2018 — the first time annual total employment has declined since July 2010. The state’s seasonal unemployment rate came in at 3.1 percent for February, an uptick from 3 percent in January, as the state lost 8,800 jobs, the state Department of Employment and Economic Development said Thursday. The U.S. jobless rate was 3.8 percent in February.”
