(St. Paul) -- In the first decline of the year, Minnesota lost about 600 jobs in June. That's according to a new report from the state Department of Employment and Economic Development, which shows Minnesota's unadjusted employment rate still stayed below the national average at four-percent. Officials say economic recovery will take time, and there are still many opportunities available. The state has regained 59-percent of the jobs lost during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
