Cheers to Your Health
Get carried away in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes”
With nearly 200 post-secondary institutions in the state, Minnesota’s 87,000+ square miles are chock-full of educational opportunities in places like the Twin Cities, Rochester, Duluth, and Bloomington. The Twin Cities boast the 4th largest American campus based on enrollment numbers, and the state has 6 private colleges listed on the nation’s top 100 liberal arts colleges.* The state’s urban centers offer careers in business, healthcare, and performing arts, while more rural areas have opportunities in agriculture, mining, and forestry. The state’s unemployment rate of 4.5% is much lower than the national average, and the predicted future job growth of 37.9% really shows the state’s upward mobility.* Minnesota’s economy is diverse with 33 of the nation’s top 1,000 publicly traded companies headquartered here.*
With its ample geography, it isn’t called The Land of 10,000 Lakes for nothing. Minnesotans enjoy high levels of physical activity: boating, fishing (including ice fishing), snow and ice sports, hunting, camping, and hiking are widely enjoyed in state, national, and local parks. With low rates of inactivity and disease, Minnesota consistently ranks as one of the healthiest states in the nation.* Professional teams always have a loyal following, with the Minnesota Vikings, Twins, and Timberwolves. And to become a true Minnesotan, you must commit to forever hating the Green Bay Packers. So, bundle up and enjoy all that Minnesota has to offer – both in business and pleasure.
