Enjoy Occupational Outlooks? Thank a Veteran!
Posted on July 5th, 2012 No commentsOne of the premier products of Minnesota’s Labor Market Information Office is our employment projections. Every two years, new job growth is estimated for industries and occupations over a 10-year time span. Current projections for Minnesota cover the 2010 to 2020 time period.
