| 2000 vs. 2020 Total Employment Growth and Change Scott County 2000 vs. 2020 Net Percent Change = 70.99% Rank = #1 Koochiching County 2000 vs. 2020 Net Percent Change = -29.34% Rank = #87 Todd County 2000 vs. 2020 Net Percent Change = 0.40% Rank = #32 With a spotlight on Todd County, the chart above displays the distribution of the net percent change of employment across Minnesota's 87 counties over the period 2000-2020. Those counties whose employment growth registered above the statewide average over this period realized an increase in their statewide share of employment. Likewise, those counties whose employment growth registered below the statewide average experienced a decline in their relative share of employment statewide. Statewide Snippets:- Over 2000-2020 employment grew in thirty-three Minnesota counties while declining in fifty-four.
- Employment growth in nineteen counties outpaced the statewide average (8.30%), while growth in sixty-eight counties trailed.
- At the extremes of the distribution, Scott County posted the highest growth of employment (70.99%), while Koochiching County placed last by logging a -29.34% decline.
- The spread in employment growth between the highest (Scott County, 70.99%) and lowest (Koochiching County, -29.34%) over 2000-2020 equated to 100.34% ( = 70.99% − -29.34%).
- Employment growth statewide is but a weighted metric that stems from each county's share of employment statewide. On this point, as the largest county in Minnesota, Hennepin County's net employment growth over 2000-2020 of 70,109 made up 25.35% of the total net growth statewide (276,560):

Data Definition The BEA employment series for states and local areas comprises estimates of the number of jobs, full-time plus part-time, by place of work. Full-time and part-time jobs are counted at equal weight. Employees, sole proprietors, and active partners are included, but unpaid family workers and volunteers are not included. Proprietors employment consists of the number of sole proprietorships and the number of partners in partnerships. The description "by place of work" applies to the wage and salary portion of the series and, with relatively little error, to the entire series. The proprietors employment portion of the series, however, is more nearly by place of residence because, for nonfarm sole proprietorships, the estimates are based on IRS tax data that reflect the address from which the proprietor's individual tax return is filed, which is usually the proprietor's residence. The nonfarm partnership portion of the proprietors employment series reflects the tax-filing address of the partnership, which may be either the residence of one of the partners or the business address of the partnership. The employment estimates are designed to be consistent with the estimates of wages and salaries and proprietors' income that are part of the personal income series. The employment estimates are based on the same sets of source data as the corresponding earnings estimates and are prepared with parallel methodologies. Two forms of proprietors' income-the income of limited partnerships and the income of tax-exempt cooperatives-have no corresponding employment estimates. United States.
