Minnesota up 2200 Jobs in October

In what may be an early sign of a rebounding job market, Minnesota companies added 2200 jobs in the month of October. Significantly, professional and business service jobs and temp jobs ticked up sharply. Temp jobs are often an leading indicator as companies test the waters with temp hires and October was the third month with growth in temp jobs.

Even though companies added 2200 jobs, the unemployment rate in Minnesota ticked up another .2%
