Minnesota

Hi,

I'm doing a state report on Minnesota, and some of the famous landforms are:

1. Mountains
2. Lakes
3. Waterfalls
4. Rivers
5. Valleys
6. There are also beautiful farmlands

Perhaps more useful information that the types of jobs available in Minnesota right now, is the projected growth of jobs over the next few years.

Listed below are a few random occupational categories expected to grow through 2016:

Veterinary Technicians - 43.8%

Network Analysts - 51.4%

Computer Software Engineers - 40.6%

Vetrinarians - 38.5%

Environmental Engineers - 28.4%

Personal Financial Advisors - 26.9%

Vocational Education Teachers - 26.6%

Social Community Service Managers - 25.8%

Computer and Mathematical Occupations - 22.8%

Generally speaking, an "applicant" who was fired from their job is eligible for unemployment benefits in Minnesota if the applicant was not terminated for employment misconduct.

Employment misconduct means any intentional, negligent, or indifferent conduct, on the job or off the job that displays clearly:

(1) a serious violation of the standards of behavior the employer has the right to reasonably expect of the employee; or (2) a substantial lack of concern for the employment.

The following is not employment misconduct:

(1) conduct that was a consequence of the applicant's mental illness or impairment;

(2) conduct that was a consequence of the applicant's inefficiency or inadvertence;

(3) simple unsatisfactory conduct;

(4) conduct an average reasonable employee would have engaged in under the circumstances;

(5) conduct that was a consequence of the applicant's inability or incapacity;

(6) good faith errors in judgment if judgment was required;

(7) absence because of illness or injury of the applicant, with proper notice to the employer;

(8) absence, with proper notice to the employer, in order to provide necessary care because of the illness, injury, or disability of an immediate family member of the applicant;

(9) conduct that was a consequence of the applicant's chemical dependency, unless the applicant was previously diagnosed chemically dependent or had treatment for chemical dependency, and since that diagnosis or treatment has failed to make consistent efforts to control the chemical dependency; or

(10) conduct that was a consequence of the applicant, or an immediate family member of the applicant, being a victim of domestic abuse.
