Why we do not publish a MN average
We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a Minnesota average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.
