While we may get overlooked as a fly-over state, Minnesota has one of the lowest employment rates and is considered one of the best places to work in the country. If you’ve considered finding a new job, you might consider moving to the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Not only is Minnesota’s unemployment rate well below national average at 3.7%, we also hosts the second most Fortune 500 companies per 1 million people.
