Minnesota’s workforce is changing from both ends of the generation spectrum. Not only are more and more baby boomers retiring, but young professionals are also leaving the state in droves and no one seems to know what to do about it.
While long winters, high state taxes, and even the lack of a soccer stadium are being touted as possible causes, it seems strange that a place that is consistently ranked one of the “best places to live” can’t seem to keep young people around.
