The federal payment for people receiving unemployment compensations are scheduled to end, but the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) blog offers assistance to those who want to work.

Regular unemployment benefits will proceed for people that are eligible, according to the DEED report. However, the emergency benefit that may be discontinued will have a significant impact on many families in the state. 

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 financial crisis, the $600 a week that residents were receiving helped Minnesotans who lost work or had their hours decreased use the extra cash to pay for rent, food and other necessities. When the temporary payment ends, many people will grapple to survive.

The DEED blog offers lists of jobs that are available to citizens. 

"At DEED, we are focused on connecting Minnesotans who need work with the employers who need them. You can find the top 30 jobs in demand now in Minnesota on CareerForceMN.com. The list is regularly updated with links to additional information about wages, educational requirements and current Minnesota postings for the jobs," the DEED blog states.
