Minnesota’s Statewide Tour of Manufacturing

This is a great way for students to scope out potential employers or get a close-up view of what goes on inside various manufacturing companies. The event is intended to help build a pipeline of future workers interested in skilled jobs in Minnesota’s manufacturing sector. Detail on event and link to all participating manufacturers at: www.tourofmanufacturingmn.com.

Manufacturers directly employ more than one in 10 workers in the state, and pay more than average for wages, accounting for about 15% of all wages paid. In addition, each manufacturing job supports another 1.3 jobs elsewhere through suppliers and employee spending. All together, manufacturing accounts for almost 30% of all jobs in Minnesota according to the Department of Employment and Economic Development.
