The labor market in the Midwest is more competitive than ever. As companies in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and beyond look to fill critical roles, they’re running into new and persistent talent acquisition challenges. Here’s what’s happening—and how Midwest Staffing Group is uniquely positioned to help your business thrive.
1. Skilled Worker Shortages Are Slowing Growth
The Midwest is experiencing a historic shortage of skilled workers. In Minnesota, there are only 53 available workers for every 100 open jobs (Minnesota Job Vacancy Survey), while Michigan’s ratio is only slightly better (Michigan Job Openings). This means longer hiring timelines, higher costs, and more competition for top talent.
How Midwest Staffing Group Responds
With over 30 years of experience in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro and a recent expansion into Fargo, ND, Midwest Staffing Group has built a deep network of qualified professionals. Whether you need contract, contract-to-hire, or direct hire solutions, Midwest Staffing can quickly connect you with the right candidates—so you can keep your business moving forward.
2. The Competition for Talent Is Fierce
Employers across the Midwest are competing for the same limited pool of skilled professionals. To stand out, you need more than just a job opening—you need a partner who understands your industry and your company culture.
Midwest Staffing Group’s Advantage
Midwest Staffing’s recruiters are known for their personal touch and industry expertise. Clients rave about the team’s responsiveness and dedication:
