2020 Business Benchmarks
Read the full 2020 Business Benchmarks report here.
The Chamber releases a Benchmarks report each year to make sense of all of the rankings that are reported all of the time. This is true: In the last year, Minnesota has been ranked the second-best place to live, and also the worst place to live (for our weather). We’re middle of the pack for dog-friendliness.
Making sense of our economic competitiveness is tougher. The report walks through detailed criteria for six categories to flesh out successes and challenges to growing your business. Because this is the fifth year of the report, there is a special section on trends.
