One can safely assume that a HomeGoods will soon be opening in the Duluth strip mall. And, thankfully, a spokesperson for HomeGoods confirmed that the discount home furnishing retailer would open in the space, likely sometime this spring.
The HomeGoods brand is housed under the TJX Companies, which also manages T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, Sierra and others. Duluth's new HomeGoods will, rightfully so, be located next door to a T.J. Maxx.
UnitedHealthcare seeking Duluth workers
A company with a big title — the world’s largest health care company — is holding a virtual job fair Tuesday.
UnitedHealthcare, an arm of the large UnitedHealth Group, is seeking to fill 30 full-time positions based in Duluth, according to a news release.
The jobs? They’re customer service care coordinator positions for people who speak English or Spanish.
You can put your best foot forward Tuesday from 3-5 p.m. and view job descriptions by going to uhg.hr/DSNPCSR.
Steady unemployment last year
Steady unemployment was the name of the game last year. The state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate sat at 3.3% in 2019.
If you've been following The Memo, this shouldn't come as a surprise to you.
The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development released the data Thursday, which also shows that the state’s rate is below the nationwide rate of 3.5%.
To break that down, just under 4,000 people entered the unemployment pool last year in Minnesota.
Decreasing Duluth jobs last year
In the same news release, DEED shares a yearly roundup of workforce stats.
It showed the number of jobs in the state increased by a tenth of a percent, from December 2018 to this December.
The sectors that gained jobs included trade, transportation and utilities; other services; leisure and hospitality; and government. While the education and health services; manufacturing; information, financial actives; construction; and mining an logging sectors lost jobs last year.
Another workforce stat shows a more detailed view of the workforce in our community: DEED shared that the Duluth-Superior Metropolitan Statistical Area was the only major Minnesotan city to lose jobs last year.
The area lost just over 500 jobs, while, for comparison, the Minneapolis-St. Paul MSA gained over 2,100 jobs, St. Cloud MSA gained over 750 jobs, Mankato MSA gained less than 590 jobs and Rochester MSA gained slightly over 100 jobs.
Kelly Busche covers business and the health care industry for the News Tribune. Although Duluth lost jobs last year, she was one of the few who joined its workforce.
