15 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Metropolitan Council Submission <br />The Economy <br />The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development estimate approximately <br />6,150 jobs in the City of Ramsey in 2015. Average annual wages for 2015 are estimated at $46,637. <br />A large reason for this average is likely due to the fact that manufacturing represents the largest <br />employment industry in Ramsey at 34 percent, and these are typically living wage jobs. Anoka <br />County as a whole has 16 percent devoted to Manufacturing. <br /> <br />The U.S. Highway 10 corridor is the commercial hub of Ramsey, running the length of the City. <br />Ramsey faces the challenge of encouraging updates and redevelopment of its older and more <br />outmoded buildings and businesses along U.S. Highway 10, while also developing greenfield <br />properties within The COR and new business park east of Armstrong Boulevard. <br /> <br />Table 14: Jobs Located in Ramsey <br />Industry Employment Total Percentage <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.
