Planners in Rochester say the city needs to attract a lot more people to fill all the jobs that will be created by the new "Destination Medical Center," the Post-Bulletin reports:
This sounds a little strange to me, since Rochester has not exactly been a job-creating juggernaut over the past couple years. Job growth in the past 12 months has been less than 1 percent, well below the Minnesota and national averages.
Perhaps, if the medical center kickstarts job growth in Rochester, then the people will follow. For now, it doesn't look like job growth there warrants a massive influx of new residents.
