Minnesota can do better

Within the next few weeks, the Center will release the most comprehensive study of Minnesota’s economy that has been done in contemporary times. It will detail Minnesota’s economic performance since the turn of the century, which has been mediocre, and identify trends that raise serious concerns about the state’s economic future. We expect the report will trigger widespread debate about the extent to which Minnesota’s blue-state policies are eroding the state’s historic economic strength. Watch for it!

In the meantime, enjoy this Center-produced video, which makes a basic point about Minnesota’s economy in an entertaining way. Since we released this video early in 2016, it has been viewed 78,980 times and counting:
