Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the initial phase of the public health response to COVID-19, officials expected unemployment to increase significantly. At the same time, in most of greater Minnesota, jobs across a wide range of occupation groups still sit unfilled, not because workers have been laid off, but because employers in many rural areas are still searching for workers with the needed skill sets. As state lawmakers being the work of recovering economically from the pandemic, they are presented with a unique opportunity, one that doesn't come around very often: a large pool of unemployed workers and a large selection of jobs that need filling."--page 1.
