The BTR documents the ebb and flow of business activity, in Minnesota by tracking business start-ups and failures, and major expansions and contractions around the state. While net employment change statistics are wide/ available and very us�(ut, they do not reveal the "chunung" of business activity as jobs are created and lost in the econonhy.

The Minnesota economy followed the nation during this soft landing, with personal income growth • (0.8 percent) reduced to one-half the rates of previous quarters. New jobs were being created, but at a slower rate that restrained both inflation and unemployment rates. The Department of Economic Security (DES) reported Minnesota's unemployment level at 3.8 percent in June 1995, up from March's 3.3 percent, but lower than the 4.0 percent rate one year ago. New business fonnation in Minnesota declined by I 1 percent from the first quarter of 1995, while Statewide business closings increased by 34 percent. The number of start-up jobs declined to the levels of Analyrsis the previous year, as new businesses in service, finance, insurance and real estate industries created almost 50 percent fewer jobs. New business formation and job creation in manufacturing 2nd Quarter, 1995 and associated wholesale trade businesses were also down sharply from the previous quarter. Business dissolutions increased among major Minnesota industry groups, with most job losses occurring in business services, health services and professional services. Compared to the robust first quarter 1995, business closings and job losses about doubled among manufacturing and related wholesale trade businesses. This increase in business closings is not unexpected. Business start-ups in Minnesota surged during the recent strong economic expansion the state experienced. However, many of these start-up businesses failed during subsequent quarters, resulting in an increased number of business closings.

Large businesses in the services, retail trade, construction and wholesale trade industries were also major sources of expansion jobs. Overall, nearly 9 percent more businesses had major expansions compared to the previous quarter, which produced 7 percent more expansion jobs. Conversely, major business contractions eased during this quarter, particularly in manufacturing. The retail trade and service industries also reduced their work force, with more than 60 percent of job losses occurring among small businesses in these industries. Small, independent companies with fewer than 50 employees continued to dominate new business formation and new job creation in the state. Over 92 percent of new enterprises and • 78 percent of start-up jobs were created by new small businesses. Large companies created the remaining start-up jobs by opening new branch locations including new retail stores, banking, insurance and real estate and communication service offices. 1 t , Construction Industry Helped by Low Interest Rates The onset of the building season, low mortgage rates and a favorable business outlook stimulated new residential and commercial construction in the state during this quarter. The state's construction industry had a 70 percent increase in the number of start-up businesses and a doubling of start-up jobs. Job Rains through major expansions by construction businesses continued to outpace job losses through business contractions. However,. the largest source of new jobs in the state-the service industry-had 21 percent fewer business start-ups Minnesota and created 42 percent fewer start-up jobs. Business dissolutions and job terminations also increased significantly among service businesses. Another large employer-the retail trade Statewide industry-sustained its previous quarter's moderate growth rate. Analysis New job creation in the manufacturing sector slowed during this quarter. Although the 2nd Quarter, 1995 industry continues to expand, the number of manufacturing start-ups and major expansions dropped by more than 15 percent from the previous quarter. The number of manufacturing dissolutions and job losses increased sharply. However, there were one-third fewer job losses from major contractions as downsizing eased in the manufacturing sector.

With the ongoing retrenchment by some large computer and defense-related businesses, these expanding niachiner} manufacturers have become the major source of g<xxl paying jobs in this sector. In printing and publishing, major expansions have shifted from newspapers and periodicals to publishers of books and commercial business materials. On the other hand, millwork has continued to provide for growth of high value-added products anion- the state's lumber and wood products businesses. The nation-wide Minnesota recovery of residential and commercial construction has stimulated this important local industry. ' Analysis Survey of Manufacturers—Third Quarter 1994 through Second Quarter 1995 2nd Quarter, 199 During second quarter 1995, 74 failed manufacturers were surveyed. Although financial difficulty was the primary reason cited for business failure, eight firms reported moving out of Minnesota, four of which relocated to an adjacent state. During the one year period that began with third quarter 1994 and ended second quarter 1995, 253 manufacturers closed their business operations. The most commonly cited cause was financial difficulty. Specifically, 73 responding firms cited financial difficulty as the primary reason for business dissolution. Ten firms consolidated their businesses with operations in another state. Eleven firms moved out of Minnesota during the one year period that ended second quarter 1995. These I 1 firms employed more than 51 workers. Major reasons cited by the firms were Minnesota's income, sales and property taxes, workers' compensation and unemployment insurance costs. The manufacturing firms that moved out of Minnesota during the past four • quarters went to the following states: California (l), Iowa (1), Massachusetts (l), North Dakota (1), Wisconsin (3), Kansas (1), South Carolina (1), Texas (1) and Kentucky (1). Since the survey began in the third quarter 1991, a total of 979 dissolved manufacturers have been surveyed. A total of 72 manufacturers (7 percent) moved out of Minnesota and 33 of these movers (46 percent) relocated to the border states of Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

In addition, the sun ey did not include businesses that have chosen to expand outside of Minnesota or those that were not able to expand in Minnesota because of high state-imposed costs. 3 Manufacturing Growth Produced Exemplary Job Creation 3, ,f e Performance for Northwest and West Central Area During the previous four quarters, the Northwest and Nest Central regions have shown ` exemplary job creation. Strong business expansion in wood products, recreational transportation equipment and other durable manufactured products have produced large numbers of new jobs in these regions. In contrast to the numerous retail and service jobs created in most other regions, these manufacturing jobs are high-paying and export-oriented, bringing substantial new revenues and purchasing power into the state. DES reported that the Regional Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area experienced the fastest wage and salary job growth (3.7 Analysis percent) over the past year when compared to other major Minnesota metro areas. 2nd Quarter, 1995 Northeast Region Greatly Improved on Rate of Start-up Jobs; Southern Regions Adversely Affected by Economic Slowdown 3 2 Percent of Wage and Salary Jobs 1 0.6 0.7 0.4 0.3 0.4 0.4 0.3 0.4 0 Statewide Northwest West Central Northeast Southwest Central Southeast Twin Cities Region Region Region Region Region Region Area Northwest and West Central Regions Kept Lead at Rate of Expansion Jobs Over Four Quarters 3 2 Percent of Wage and Salary Jobs 1.2 1.0 1 0.7 0.7 M 4 0.5 0 z Statewide Northwest West Central Northeast Southwest Central Southeast Twin Cities Region Region Region Region Region Region Area • 4 Job Losses From Downsizing Businesses Dropped to Lowest Level in Four Quarters Major business contractions and job losses declined in Minnesota over the past twelve months.

After a short pause during the previous quarter, manufacturing resumed active expansion hirings in the Northwest. More than one-third of the major expansion jobs in the region were created by growing manufacturing firms. However, the local retail trade and service industries 'Re posted fewer business start-ups and start-up jobs during this quarter and incurred more 2nd Quarter, 1995 business dissolutions and job losses.

P 7 Surge in Construction Activity Helped Stir Northeast Region Out of Yearlong Slump During this quarter, the Northeast region stirred out of a job creation slump and posted the state's highest rate of start-up jobs and showed an improved rate of job expansion. Construction, retail trade and service industries were major sources of start-up and expansion jobs. Within the service industry, tourism-related hotels, amusement and recreation businesses, non-profits and other membership organizations, and government provided most expansion jobs. Northeast Despite this recent growth, the BTS concurred with a DES report of little net job growth Region during the previous twelve months in the Duluth-Superior metropolitan area (Minnesota Labor Market Review, July 1995).

Printing and publishing and fabricated metals manufactures produced most of the expansion jobs in the manufacturine sector.
