I was curious what people thought of today's article in the Winona Daily News stating that Winona has the highest unemployment rate among the largest 37 cities in Minnesota. Is there something we need to be doing differently or have there just been a few unforeseen events that have caused this? Also, does looking at this one figure tell the "whole story" about employment in Winona or is there more to it than appears on the surface.
I'd be interested in hearing people's opinions and insights. I've included a link below to the complete article.
