Why is manufacturing so important to the Minnesota economy?

  • The manufacturing industry is a critically important part of Minnesota’s diverse economy, contributing $57.2 billion (12%) to the state’s economy in 2023 - and making a wide range of products to improve the lives of people around the world - from medical devices to food to recreational vehicles and everything in between.
  • Manufacturing workers took home $25.7 billion in wages from Minnesota manufacturing jobs last year.
  • There is a big demand for people to work in manufacturing positions in Minnesota, now and into the future - making it a strong career path choice.
