Minnesota lost 5,700 jobs in September, but jobless rate also fell

Minnesota employers cut 5,700 jobs last month, but the state’s jobless rate fell to a seasonally adjusted 3.8 percent, down from the 4 percent level where it hovered in July and August.

The losses are marginal in a state where there are 3 million jobs, but they are another sign of slowing performance by one of the strongest employment markets in the country.
