New data

Minnesota's proportion of foreign-born residents working has been increasing since 1990, and now stands at 72 percent. That's lower than the proportion of native-born adults working (77%), but the gap has been narrowing since 1990.

Through 2050, the population of greater Minnesota is expected to grow by 32,000 residents (+1%), while the population of the Twin Cities 7-county region is expected to grow by 817,000 residents (+26%).

Three greater Minnesota regions are expected to experience net population decline by 2050.
