RAMSEY EMPLOYMENT Employment in Ramsey increased steadily from 2002 to 2008 and declined to 5,212 in 2010 due primarily to declines in Construction; Manufacturing; and Wholesale Trade, as shown in Table 3-3. Industry categories with growing employment trends from 2002 to 2010 include: Manufacturing; Transportation and Warehousing; Agriculture; Utilities; Wholesale Trade; Information; Finance and Insurance; Management of Companies and Enterprises; Educational Services; Accommodation and Food Services; Other Services; Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services; and Health Care and Social Assistance. Categories with declining trends include Construction; Retail Trade; Real Estate and Rental and Leasing; Administration and Support; Arts, Entertainment and Recreation; and Public Administration. Employment in this table differs slightly from Table 3-2 because it is derived from a different database from the U.S. Census Bureau that provides more complete reporting of employment by industry.

Employment in office -inclined industries was steady between 2002 and 2005 when employment peaked at 646 and then declined to 529 employees in 2010. Assuming 250 square feet per employee, demand for office space would have been about 118,000 square feet in 2002 increasing to about 161,500 square feet in 2005, before declining to 132,250 square feet in 2010, a decline of over 18.1 percent. POPULATION AND HOUSEHOLDS The MSA added over 311,000 persons between 2000 and 2010, an annual growth rate of 1.0 percent, as shown in Table 3-4. Anoka County grew at the same annual growth rate as the MSA (1.0 percent), adding 32,760 persons or 10.5 percent of total MSA growth. Sherburne County grew by 24,082 people in the past decade, which is an annual rate of increase of 3.2 percent.
