AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Workforce: Minnesota’s paid family and medical leave program has drawn more than 100,000 applications in its first nine months, as employers adjust to the new benefit. Household Costs: Updated ALICE data show more working households struggling despite wage gains. Second Harvest Heartland distributed a record 172 million pounds of food as grocery and diesel costs rose. Economic Signals: Minnesota’s unemployment rate reached 4.5% in September; a separate report says the state lost jobs last month and wages fell this year. Business Growth: Cabinetworks opened a free on-site health clinic at its Waconia plant, while Conger Meat is opening a fourth shop in Rochester. Rochester tourism generated $1.1 billion in economic activity in 2025. Financing: Summit Brewing secured a new lender and avoided foreclosure.
