Some very good news for greater Mankato job growth coming out today. Employment statistics in the area are up three percent from this time last year.
That comes out to be about 1,500 more jobs.
This is the sixth straight month for job increases here in Mankato, and the highest number in almost three years.
Jonathan Zierdt with Greater Mankato Growth says this is wonderful news for the community.
Zierdt says, "jobs are being added across the market place from a variety of businesses. They're not coming because of one new employed that's added 500 jobs. We're talking about hundreds of employers across the community adding five jobs or two jobs or 30 jobs, whatever it might be. That kind of diversity is what gives us stability. And really upward growth in the market place."
Mankato is tied with Rochester for the highest percentage increase in year over year job opportunities in the state for a metropolitan statistical area.
