Small Business Connect: Small business tax relief |
|
DID YOU KNOW?
On Thursday, October 15, the Legislature passed a bill to conform to section 179 expensing effective for tax year 2020 providing $208 million in tax relief for small businesses and farmers over the next three years. The Minnesota Chamber has advocated for this law change for the past three sessions and we are pleased it has been accomplished.
Now more than ever, it’s critical to support Minnesota small businesses, as our state continues to deal with the public health and financial impacts of the pandemic. The Minnesota Chamber thanks the elected officials who on a bipartisan vote took this step to invest in the employees and communities which these businesses and farms support. This helps lay the foundation to help Minnesota’s economy recover and grow, and retain and create jobs.

DEED Launches #GoodJobsNow |
|
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented new challenges for all Minnesotans, especially those looking for work. Our #GoodJobsNow campaign seeks to highlight Minnesota businesses who are hiring right now for quality jobs.
DEED Launches #GoodJobsNow, New Campaign
Connecting Minnesota Job Seekers with Employers
St. Paul – Today, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) Commissioner Steve Grove announced the #GoodJobsNow campaign with Rick Trontvet from Marvin Windows in Warroad and Traci Tapani from Wyoming Machine in Stacy.
Many Minnesota businesses have open jobs but are reporting having a hard time finding the employees they need. At the same time, Minnesota’s unemployment rate remains elevated with workers continuing to seek job opportunities. That’s why DEED is launching #GoodJobsNow, an interactive set of resources connecting Minnesota employers hiring right now with job seekers looking for work.
“Today, I’m proud to launch the #GoodJobsNow campaign, a new tool to help Minnesota job seekers by connecting them directly with employers,” said Commissioner Steve Grove. “Right now, as many Minnesotans face uncertainty, DEED is working to provide job seekers with job opportunities and career training resources through virtual CareerForce services, our regularly updated 30 Jobs in Demand list, the Dislocated Worker Program and now the #GoodJobsNow visualization.”
During second quarter 2020, employers reported a total of just under 111,800 job vacancies in Minnesota. Though that was down 23.7% from one year ago, reflecting COVID-19’s impact on the labor market, it shows existing demand for workers across the state. There were 2.4 unemployed Minnesotans for each vacancy, halting a three-year streak of employers posting more vacancies than there were active job seekers available to fill them.
“We know that there is a talented workforce in Minnesota, and we are passionate about the impactful work and variety of opportunities available at Marvin. We are thankful for the strong partnership with MN DEED to help connect us with the talent in the state through this new, innovative tool,” said Rick Trontvet, Marvin senior vice president of Human Resources.
Minnesota employers who have vacancies are invited to join us in this effort. It’s simple to do that: Just fill out this form and DEED will follow up to highlight your opportunities.
“At Wyoming Machine, we celebrate the skills and potential workers bring to the job and we provide on-the-job training, mentoring and technical training through Minnesota State to help our employees advance and build a career in manufacturing,” said Traci Tapani, co-owner of Wyoming Machine.
