Consideration of Adding Items to the Agenda None. 4. Table Topics a) 2020 State -Local Census -Demographic Information — A Deeper Dive, Megan Dayton, MN State Demographer's Office: Megan Dayton shared a Power Point presentation with the group reviewing the demographic changes in Minnesota following the 2020 Census. Minnesota's population has grown 7.6% from the last census which is .2% higher than the national average of 7.4%. The growth is fully attributable to multiracial populations. Minnesota has retained its 8t" Congressional Seat. Wright County is ranked 5t" in the largest gains in percentage of population, at 13.3%. Monticello as a city grew by 14%. The 7-County Twin Cities metro added 313,537 people, 78% of the state's growth. There are unprecedented increases in Minnesota's 65+ population. Nearly half of Baby Boomers have now retired and the MN labor force is much younger now than a decade ago. Minnesota's labor force growth is projected to slow further over the next 10 years. We no longer have the domestic migration and Minnesota's labor force is decreasing. In response to COVID-19. About 41.6% of Minnesota households report at least one teleworker. Strategies to address the slowdown in labor force growth include: • Institutionalize training your own and/or make it easier for employees to gain skills in an outside setting • Recruit from other states and from abroad • Raise wages — slowdown in LF growth is structural • Create flexible schedule options • Options for workers to telework • Invest in technology Key Takeaways: • Fewer school -age children relative to older adults will mean pressures to shift resources from younger to older, potential impacts on education/training resources • Slowing -labor force growth and increasing demands of job market will mean that training and retaining works will a essential to future economic growth • Increasing diversity has its own growth momentum Dayton said she will email the presentation to the group, and further information can be found online at mn.gov/demography.
