(St. Paul, MN) -- Minnesota labor officials are reporting the first drop in a year in the number of jobs in the state.
Minnesota lost two-thousand jobs in December even as the unemployment rate dipped to three-point-one percent. Officials say one factor was the fast-spreading omicron variant.
The arts, entertainment, and recreation sector took the biggest hit, with 16-hundred jobs lost.
