Good evening and thanks for joining us, I'm Betsy Gessell.Back in 2008, a survey of Minnesota manufacturers exposed the grim future of job losses that would hit the state.Now in 2010, a new version is showing hope among Minnesota business leaders.Fox Mankato's Ryan Gustafson has more.Area manufacturers were eager to listen to Bob Kill, head of Enterprise Minnesota, explain what he found in his survey of 400 executives throughout the state.Bob Kill says, "I believe manufacturers will add jobs, but let's be real practical - there are a lot of jobs that went away this past year also.""Manufacturing makes up about 15% of jobs in Minnesota and is really a leading indicator as to where the economy is headed. While it's not a rosy picture yet, more than half the executives surveyed thought the economy is leveling off and over a quarter of them think it will grow."Bob Kill says, "One of the things our poll also points out is that the people that are getting hired are really asking for benefits, health care. Because that's a very important part - not only to employers, but to employees."Health care was the biggest concern among the executives, mirroring the current debate in Washington.Using environmentally friendly business practices also appears to be a hurdle, with the bosses split right down the middle concerning whether it was important for their business.But a more direct problem may be the availability of credit.Bob Kill says, "It's clearly restricting growth, new industries and job growth and we hope we're at the back side of that - we still got some work ahead of us."Not really anywhere to go but up.In Mankato, Ryan Gustafson, The Fox Mankato News At Nine.
