The right workers at the right price
The beauty of the Brainerd Lakes Area has drawn visitors here for more than 100 years but a diversified economy has attracted a strong workforce with a favorable blend of skills and backgrounds. Many live here for the quality of life. As a result, wages in Crow Wing County are consistently lower than the Twin Cities average. This offers an opportunity for companies to reduce their operational costs while increasing employment for the region.
