The Mankato-North Mankato Metropolitan Statistical Area (Blue Earth and Nicollet Counties) is one of the hardest working\u00a0and most productive\u00a0metros in the country.<\/p>\n
According to the 2015 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, our MSA’s workforce (ages 16-64)\u00a0ranks 5th in labor force participation…out of 381 MSAs across the country. \u00a0This type of engagement of the labor force is reflective of an employee’s high work ethic and resulting productivity for employers.<\/p>\n
Many people choose to work beyond 64 years of age. \u00a0If you look at the Labor Force Participation Rate for 16 years and older, the Mankato-North Mankato MSA has the highest work ethic\u00a0in the continental United States (73%). \u00a0Only Fairbanks, Alaska is higher at 74.7%. \u00a0Definitions are below the table.<\/p>\n

work” nor “with a job but not at work” during the reference week, and (2) were actively looking for work during the last 4 weeks, and (3) were available to accept a job. Also included as unemployed are civilians who did not work at all during the reference week, but were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off, and were available for work except for temporary illness.<\/p>\n Not in labor force: Not in labor force includes all people 16 years old and over who are not classified as members of the labor force. This category consists mainly of students, housewives, retired workers, seasonal workers interviewed in an off season who were not looking for work, institutionalized people, and people doing only incidental unpaid family work (less than 15 hours during the reference week).<\/p>\n The short answer is this: unemployed workers are actively seeking work; those not in the labor force are not actively seeking work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Mankato-North Mankato Metropolitan Statistical Area (Blue Earth and Nicollet Counties) is one of the hardest working\u00a0and most productive\u00a0metros in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3487,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[171],"tags":[410,275,186,187,411,277],"post_author":[],"class_list":["post-3454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-development","tag-labor","tag-labor-force-participation","tag-mankato","tag-north-mankato","tag-work-ethic","tag-workforce"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n |
