Chamber report: Minnesota lagging on growth
A Minnesota Chamber analysis finds the state’s economy has “fallen behind on nearly every measure of growth,” with GDP per capita rising just 1% since 2019 and ranking 38th among states. The Chamber said it will launch a multiyear campaign to bring lawmakers and business leaders together to address the concerns — a plan discussed at an economic forum in Eagan where Anderson Corp. CEO Chris Galvin said it’s “hard to find the path forward” as companies broaden workforces with plants speaking 20–30 languages.
