Manufacturers have concerns about business climate, inflation heading into 2025

Still a somewhat challenging State of Manufacturing, according to the survey done by Enterprise Minnesota.

Bob Kill, president of Enterprise Minnesota, presented the results to a group of industry stakeholders on Wednesday at Minnesota Power.

Some of the concerns include state mandates like paid family leave and sick and safe time, inflation, and cost of health care.

Confidence came in around 80%, and it has been as high as 94% in the past.

This was the 16th State of Manufacturing survey, with over 500 companies taking part. There are 8500 manufacturers in the state of Minnesota.
