Affirmative Action

The State of Minnesota is committed to providing equal opportunity in employment. Law requires that each agency in the executive branch develop an affirmative action plan as part of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Statewide Affirmative Action effort. The goal is to provide equal opportunity to current and prospective employees without regard to race, religion, creed, color, age, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, receipt of public assistance, or activity in a local human rights commission. The information below will help employers and employees better understand Minnesota's affirmative action plan.
