Minot
Business
Minot's initial commercial success came by way of the railroad - and transportation is still an advantage for businesses looking to move to the area. The town is the fourth largest in North Dakota and acts as a hub for the northern part of the state as well as settlements just over the border in Canada.
The major private employers are in the service industries. According to the local area development corporation, the biggest number of employees are in health, retail and accommodation services.
Minot AFB to the north is also an important source of jobs in the area, with the public school system and the state university adding to the number of public sector workplaces. The average wage in Minot is below the state average at $26,217, according to 2004 statistics.
