The Business Benchmarks report released by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce presents a complex view of the state’s economy. This report simplifies economic data into an easily digestible format for business professionals, highlighting both strengths and challenges.

One of the key strengths highlighted in the report is Minnesota’s long-term economic stability, favorable cost of living, strong legacy of innovation, improvements in infrastructure, and recovering labor force. These factors make Minnesota an attractive place for businesses to operate and grow.

However, despite these strengths, the report also emphasizes challenges such as slow economic growth, high taxes and regulations, increasing cost of doing business, and negative net domestic migration. These factors can hinder business growth and development in the state.

The report suggests that these high-quality strengths have not translated into meaningful economic growth for the state. This contradicts some people’s perception of Minnesota’s economic position. It paints a picture where despite having several positive factors that can attract businesses, they are not enough to drive significant growth.
