O1lC <br />The Economy <br />The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development estimate approximately 6,150 jobs <br />in the City of Ramsey in 2015. Average annual wages for 2015 are estimated at $46,637. A large reason for <br />this average is likely due to the fact that manufacturing represents the largest employment industry in Ramsey <br />at 34 percent, and these are typically living wage jobs. Anoka County as a whole has 16 percent devoted to <br />Manufacturing. <br />Figure 10: Jobs Located in Ramsey <br />Employment Percentage <br />Total <br />Retail Trade 554 9% <br />Health Care and Social Assistance 246 4% <br />Accommodation and Food Services 369 6% <br />Public Administration 185 3% <br />Manufacturing 2,091 34% <br />Other Services, Ex.
