Mining contributed to $19 billion in state exports, according to a recent report from the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED).
Agricultural, mining and manufactured products left Minnesota at a rate 4 percent lower than 2015, but supported nearly 120,000 jobs in the state.
“Minnesota still has a thriving and diverse export sector,” said DEED Commissioner Shawntera Hardy in the report.
