CITY EMPLOYMENT DROPS <br />City employment trends provide further evidence of the severe budget restraints <br />that have been placed on Minnesota cities. Personnel costs comprise approximately <br />60 percent of most cities' budgets. The number of city employees (both full and <br />part-time) in Minnesota declined by nearly one -quarter (24 percent) over the 1980- <br />1985 period. In contrast, the number of employees for all cities in the U.S. increased <br />nearly 3 percent over the same period. The rate of decrease in city employment was <br />more than three times the decline of any state or local governmental unit in Minne- <br />sota. <br />CRARY 9- <br />EMPLOYMENT TRENDS AMONG MINNESOTA'S <br />STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, <br />1980-1985 <br />• SEE TABLE 9 IN APPENDIX FOR DATA. <br />SOURCE: U.S. BUREAU OF THE CENSUS, "PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT IN 1980."
