Worthington, Minn. — Minnesota is lagging behind other states when it comes to creating new high-technology jobs, according to a new report out this week.
The Science and Technology Authority, created by the Legislature last year, issued the report this week. The group also notes that Minnesota actually lost high-tech jobs in 2009, the most recent data available.
Jobs in science and technology are among the best paid in the work force, averaging more than $70,000 a year. But it's a section of the economy where Minnesota lags other parts of the country.
