Minnesota Colleges and Universities: Career Training and College Degrees

Published: November, 2010

Minnesota is the headquarters for companies that remain household names across the nation. The state's Fortune 500 companies are located mainly in Minneapolis-St. Paul, although a number of large companies have their operations in cities like Edina, Richfield, and Eden Prairie. Among the most successful businesses in Minnesota are:
  • UnitedHealth Group
  • Target
  • Best Buy
  • 3M
  • General Mills

These retail, healthcare, and manufacturing businesses are part of what keeps the statewide unemployment rate in line with national averages. Additionally, Minnesota is home to the following top 100 fastest-growing tech companies, as determined by CNN Money:
  • Digital River, a software streaming company in Eden Prairie
  • Rochester Medical, a medical technology business in Stewartville
  • Lifecore Biomedical, a dental and biomedical business in Chaska

Most of Minnesota's workforce of 2.8 million is employed in the trade, transportation, and utilities industry, the education and health services industry, or in state and local governments. Growing industries in the state include the leisure and hospitality industry and the financial activities field, with accountants in Minneapolis earning entry-level wages averaging $45,100.
