Otter Tail Country: Not Just a Nice Place to Visit
A recent report from the Minnesota Employment and Economic Development (DEED)shows that the economy in Otter Tail County is very strong, and getting stronger. Unemployment rates dropped .3%, from 7.5 to 7.2%.
They credit the drops in unemployment to seasonal work such as construction and jobs in the resort and lodging industries as reasons the employment levels are so high.
Also noted in the article was the fact that the Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN economy is strong - this has a real impact on the lakes country economy.
