Gov. Mark Dayton this week proposed a package of investments and tax policy changes that he claims will create thousands of jobs for Minnesotans.
Dayton proposes to reward businesses this year with a $3,000 tax credit each time they hire someone who is unemployed, a veteran or a recent graduate. Dayton estimates the credit would create more than 20,000 private sector jobs.
