(Minneapolis, MN) -- Minnesota's latest jobs report has both good and bad news.

The good news is that unemployment in the state remains at a record low, with a one-point-eight percent jobless rate. The report also shows employers added 19 thousand jobs in July. But the report shows that people continue to leave the workforce.

The state says Minnesota's labor force is 75 thousand people smaller than it was before the coronavirus outbreak.
