Minnesota maintains top 3 ranking in national jobs study

(The Center Square) – Minnesota ranks third nationally for workers, according to a new study. The “Best and Worst States for Jobs” study from WalletHub looked at 34 key indicators of job-market strength and economic health, ranging from employment growth to the median annual income. Chip Lupo, a WalletHub analyst, discussed the 2026 results with The Center Square in an exclusive interview. “Minnesota continues to be one of the strongest states for employment, ranking third nationally for the third consecutive year,” he said. “This report helps job seekers make more informed decisions about where to build their careers by looking beyond job availability alone.” The North Star state’s overall score improved from 60.94 to 62.50 in the past year. Only North Dakota and Nebraska ranked higher, at 62.92 and 64.24 respectively. “Its performance is supported by the fourth-strongest economic environment, the third-highest median household income, and the 11th-highest monthly starting salary in the nation,” Lupo said. “It also offers favorable conditions for workers through strong health insurance coverage, retirement access and worker protections.” This comes despite economic concerns in the state, particularly in the wake of Operation Metro Surge in early 2026. While Minnesota has experienced below-average employment growth ,
