Minnesota order brief
Published local guides: Duluth, Mankato, Minneapolis, Rochester, Saint Paul.
First decision
Minnesota's minimum wage rose to $11.41 an hour on January 1, 2026, adjusts annually for inflation, and allows no tip credit -- tipped event staff earn the full minimum plus tips. Duluth has no local wage ordinance; the state's labor department lists only Minneapolis and St. Paul as cities with their own minimums.

Worksite evidence
Minnesota State won both the CCHA regular-season title and the 2025-26 CCHA tournament championship, securing an NCAA tournament auto-bid, which means March postseason home dates can require short-notice extra event staff beyond the regular-season schedule.
The Minneapolis Convention Center is a 1.6 million square foot downtown venue with five exhibit halls, a 3,400-seat auditorium, two grand ballrooms, and 87 meeting rooms, per Meet Minneapolis, the city's convention and visitors bureau.
Mayo Civic Center's Exhibit Hall is 25,200 square feet and divides into four sections, flexing from 2,300 seats theater-style down to 1,300 banquet-style or 1,000 classroom-style, so a medical-conference crew plan has to size registration and floor staff to the configuration booked, not a single fixed headcount.
