The COVID-19 pandemic has changed Minnesota’s job market in unprecedented ways. From the largest and fastest job loss in state history to the steepest and swiftest employment recovery Minnesota has ever witnessed, the job market has been shaken up like never before. Now, there are tens of thousands of jobs available across the state and employers are scrambling to find workers to fill them.
As jobs are coming back, they aren’t always in the same fields or requiring the same skills as the jobs that were lost. This means you may need to gain new skills to find a job in your area that meets your family’s needs.
