"Here's a contest you don't want to win: Your state beats the nation in unemployment percentage."- from Minnesota jobs -- and mall dominance -- shrinking by MPR Public Insight Journalism Analyst Paul Tosto
Tosto hosts open economic discussions online that call for your feedback. After reading the perspectives on his home loans post, I can't wait to see what people have to say about Minnesota jobs -- and mall dominance -- shrinking. It could go in so many directions.
How should the state address unemployment? What does unemployment look like where you live? How does it affect the quality of life in your community?
