# Minnesota Added 209 New Job Postings This Week, Up From 121, But Hiring Slipped *September 23, 2026, by Ben Garves* Minnesota picked up **209 new job postings** in the last seven days across the employer boards we track, against **121** the week before. That is an increase of 72.7%, or 88 additional roles — a solid week in absolute terms, and a slow one relative to everything else on the board. ![Minnesota's week in four numbers](https://career.thegoodapps.co/posts/visuals/01087934-f355-49d4-b6d5-598744c2b06f.png) The comparison that matters: new postings across all boards we track went from 5,838 to 11,603 week over week, a jump of 98.7%. Minnesota grew at roughly three-quarters that rate. The result is that [Minnesota](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/minnesota) claimed 1.8% of this week's new listings after holding 2.1% the week before. The state got busier; the rest of the country got busier faster. ## Where Minnesota sits among the 12 states with activity Our crawl currently shows openings in 12 states. Minnesota ranks 10th of those 12 by new postings this week, sitting between [Massachusetts](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/massachusetts) at 211 and [Illinois](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/illinois) at 206. California alone posted 1,045 — five times Minnesota's total. ![New postings this week by state](https://career.thegoodapps.co/posts/visuals/35182970-58b9-4546-b5ec-a075390182fb.png) On growth rate, Minnesota is near the back of the pack too. Only [New York](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/new-york) (+48.7%) and Illinois (+38.3%) moved less. [Tennessee](https://career.thegoodapps.co/jobs/in/tennessee) is the week's outlier by a wide margin, going from 47 postings to 277 — a rise of 489%, off a very small base. ![Week-over-week change in new postings](https://career.thegoodapps.co/posts/visuals/adb69a93-91dd-4534-9b51-b903b88c01a7.png) ## What's driving the volume The ten biggest posters this week across every board we crawl were [VF Corporation](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/vf-corporation) (654 new, 897 open), [AdventHealth](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/adventhealth) (559 new, 991 open), [Ranger Boats](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/ranger-boats) (399), [Cleveland Clinic](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/cleveland-clinic) (320), [Citigroup](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/citigroup) (313), [Meijer](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/meijer) (299), [U.S. Bank](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/u-s-bank) (298 new and 1,010 open, the largest open book of any employer we track), [Tyson Foods](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/tyson-foods) (238), [Target](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/target) (228) and [Lifepoint Hospitals](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/lifepoint-hospitals) (216). These are national totals — our weekly employer counts aren't split by state, so treat them as the backdrop Minnesota's 209 postings sit against rather than a Minnesota roster. Health systems and large-format retail account for five of those ten. Across all new postings this week, just 4% were remote. ## The wider picture is softer than the week suggests A doubling in weekly new postings sounds like a hiring surge, but two other numbers argue for restraint. Over the last seven days we logged 23,268 closed listings against 11,603 new ones — roughly two roles coming off the boards for every one going up. And on a 30-day view, new postings are down: 28,429 in the last 30 days versus 30,067 in the prior 30, a decline of 5.4%. Total open listings stand at 58,496 from 684 employers hiring.

[Engineering Manager](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/engineering-manager) leads at $280,000 across 234 listings, followed by [Machine Learning Engineer](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/machine-learning-engineer) at $267,500 (114 listings) and [Product Manager](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/product-manager) at $247,300 (362 listings). [Software Engineer](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/software-engineer) has by far the deepest pool with a posted range, 1,263 listings, at a $240,000 median. At the other end, [Sales Representative](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/sales-representative) posts a $75,914 median across 162 listings.
