MSP Metro Workforce Report May 24-30, 2020 The impacts of COVID-19 have reinforced an ongoing need for workers to fill critical jobs in each sector of the MSP metropolitan workforce. These impacts have also exposed historical trends related to stable earnings and turnover, top skills, and demographics such as race and ethnicity, which are a call to action as we work together to build an economy that works better for all.
RealTime Talent begins highlighting the critical needs of employers in the 7-County Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metro (MSP) by lifting up the top jobs, skills, and certifications advertised by employers,1 as well as the top locations that employers are advertising openings aligned with five of the region’s most critical sectors.2 This report focuses on jobs that require an Associate’s degree or less and includes an in-depth analysis of one occupation that is high-demand, high-opportunity, and/or high-growth. Given the disparity of the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we offer these insights to guide the many people who will be seeking work and those who advise individuals seeking work.
Next, we dig into the needs of MSP employers for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, including the current unemployment rates in these occupations, wages, and demographics of employment in this career.

Stable Turnover in Transportation and Warehousing Jobs the MSP Metro, Annual Averages
In the Transportation and Warehousing Industry, there is not enough data on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) working in the industry to establish clear trends in stable turnover or separations disaggregated by race and ethnicity year-to-year. However, When comparing non-Hispanic White workers to Black and African American workers in this industry, 19.3% of Black or African American workers were starting or returning to new jobs in the industry in the first quarter of 2019, compared to 9.4% of White workers in the industry. Black and African American workers also have higher separation rates in the industry, at 18.2% of Black or African American workers leaving their jobs in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 8.4% of White workers leaving their jobs in that quarter. Of course, this includes all occupations within the industry and talent of all skill levels, experience levels, and tenure—as long as they were employed at a company for at least a full 4-quarter period.6,7
3 Stable turnover is defined as the rate at which stable jobs—positions held by the same employee throughout an entire year—begin and end. Stable turnover is calculated by summing the number of stable hires in the reference period and stable separations in the next period, then dividing by the average full-period employment. 4 U.S. Census Bureau. Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI), 2018. Stable turnover is calculated by summing the number of stable hires in the reference quarter and stable separations in the next quarter, then dividing by the average full quarter employment. The 4 quarters are then averaged. 5 Occupation name shortened from Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Materials Movers. 6 Yearly average separations are the estimated number of workers whose job with a given employer ended in a given quarter. The quarters are averaged to account for seasonality. It is a useful measure of what types of workers are leaving their jobs, either voluntarily or involuntarily. 7 U.S. Census Bureau, Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI). 7-County Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Area.

In Transportation and Warehousing, White non-Hispanic workers saw a 60% increase in average monthly stable earnings8 from 1995-2017, from $2,854 to $4,558. Black and African American workers, however, only reached the 1995 White worker wages in 2016. As of 2017, non-Hispanic White workers in Transportation and Warehousing were making nearly 56% more than Black and African American workers in the industry.
Yearly Stable Earnings (Average Monthly) in the Transportation and Warehousing Industry, MSP Metro
8 Stable earnings are the wages of employees that worked at the same firm throughout a reference period—in this case, a full year.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for Laborers and Material Movers was expected to decline, and the MSP Metro was forecast to have an excess of talent in this occupation. In fact, over the next five years, it was estimated that there would be 133 more individuals seeking work in this field than job opportunities available every year, for a total 5-year excess of talent of 665 workers.
For the short-term, demand for talent in these roles remains high due to shifting product pipelines and needs in the Manufacturing, Transportation, Warehousing, and related industries. Economists are continuing to assert that long-term forecasts will likely hold true once the pandemic subsides, and so effective workforce development programs will build out mindful career pathway development for individuals taking jobs today in Labor and Material Moving occupations. Destination occupations in demand and high shortage five years from now that could have related skill sets and knowledge, but would require additional education or training, include Logisticians, General and Operations Managers, and Management Analysts.
