Manufacturing:AnEconomicDriver
Manufacturing employment is a critical part of the local Rice County and Faribault economies. In 2011,
Manufacturing in Faribault made up 25.0 percent of all private employment, in Rice County it was 19.9
percent. In comparison, Minnesota as a whole employed only 13.4 percent of private sector workers in the
Manufacturing industries.
While Manufacturers paid 16.1 percent of the wages in 2011 in Minnesota, in Rice County and Faribault it
was 27.8 percent and 33.1 percent, respectively. This was a total of $185,476,115 in wages in Rice County
and $97,507,965 in Faribault. The actual economic value surpasses even that – supporting companies, such
as suppliers of raw materials, office supplies, and services also benefit from the presence of the industry.
Types of Manufacturing
There were 80 firms engaged in Manufacturing in Rice County in 2011, 38 of them in Faribault. The largest
share was in Food Manufacturing, with 13, though there were 12 in Fabricated Metal Manufacturing and 11
in Machinery Manufacturing.

The size of firms varied widely, however;
the Food Manufacturing industry employed
the most workers by a large margin, with
41.5 percent of all manufacturing
employment in Faribault and 53.9 percent
in Rice County. The second-largest was
Machinery Manufacturing, with 22.0
percent in Faribault and 13.9 percent in
Rice County. Despite the large number of
firms, only 10.6 percent of the total
manufacturing employment in Rice County
was in Fabricated Metal manufacturing, for
an average of only 33 workers per firm
compared to an overall average of 46
workers per firm in total manufacturing,
and an average of 152 workers per firm in
Food Manufacturing.
Manufacturing employment in Rice county is weighted toward different industries than in the state overall –
53.9 percent of manufacturing employment was in Food manufacturing in Rice county in 2011, compared to
14.6 percent in the state, in Machinery manufacturing it was 13.9 percent, compared to 10.1 percent in the
state, and in Nonmetallic Minerals it was 8.4 percent, compared to 2.7 percent in the state.
Wages and Manufacturing
In 2011, Manufacturing employees earned 35.1 percent more than workers overall in Rice county and in
Faribault they made 24.9 percent more. Wages in Manufacturing have also been increasing faster than in
other industries: in Rice County in 2000, manufacturing employees made only 31.6 percent more than all
employees.
The average weekly wage for manufacturing workers in Faribault in 2011 was $864, compared to $970 in Rice
County and $1106 in Minnesota overall. The lower average manufacturing wage in the area likely stems from
the concentration of food manufacturing; while still well-paid, jobs in Food Manufacturing have a lower
average weekly wage than most other manufacturing industries.

The Voice of Business Promoting Growth and Prosperity
Since 1902 the Chamber has been the leading business
organization, promoting growth and prosperity.
The Chamber of Commerce has a unique role providing
direct services and representing the business
community on a variety of issues.
• Business Advocacy is where the Voice of Business is
amplified. Chamber members band together to impact
decisions made in our community. The clout of our unified
voice shares the business environment.
There is strength in numbers.
• The GROW Faribault program is our business
retention and expansion effort. Partnering with the
Faribault EDA, volunteers visit businesses throughout the
community with three primary goals. First, to thank
businesses for employing people and contributing to the
local economy. Second, to learn more about their business
goals and assist where we are able. Third, to identify
community and legislative issues affecting business growth,
in order to provide advocacy support for the business
community.
• There are scores of chamber initiatives designed to help
existing businesses grow and prosper and new businesses
choose Faribault. Members can participate in leadership
development, marketing and promotions, special events,
networking programs and more.
• The Human Resource Peer Group allows HR managers
from large and medium businesses to share best
practices and network with one another.
Small business people, who must juggle HR duties with
other management responsibilities, also attend and benefit
from the experience of the group.
Chambers are catalysts through which professional people,
entrepreneurs, business leaders and employers can work
together for the common good. The work of the Chamber
benefits those that don’t belong as well. In fact the entire
community is served by the Chamber because the mission is
to promote growth and prosperity.

Faribault Area Chamber of Commerce:
Workforce Development Committee
Cooperation with Education Providers to Meet Future
Workforce Needs of Our Business Community
Meeting the future workforce needs of our existing employers, and projecting the workforce needs for new business
development is essential for the growth and prosperity of our community. Many agencies are involved in that work.
The Chamber Workforce Committee has developed a number of initiatives to address the
issue. We continue to work on promoting internships for college students in local businesses,
job shadowing and business tours for local high school students, and strong relationships
with colleges and high schools in our area. We offer a human resource peer group for
members that brings best practices to small and large employers for continued workforce
development. We also assist other groups such as Beyond the Yellow Ribbon and MN
Workforce Center in connecting with
local businesses for job fairs and
employee development.
The biggest project is the annual
CareerFest. The day long program is
held in partnership with South
Central College and presents
students with career building
information. Volunteer business
people provide information on the
education, training and path to
success in many careers. Members
are always welcome to participate in
the workforce initiative
