About this file
This is an annual economic report prepared by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' Division of Forestry documenting the state's forest products industry performance. The report presents comprehensive data on the forest products sector's economic contribution to Minnesota, including employment figures, payroll information, industry value metrics, and timber harvest statistics. The contract opportunity requires updating the "Minnesota's Forest Products Industry at a Glance" report for calendar year 2024 and publishing it in 2026. The report tracks direct and total economic effects across multiple forest product categories including pulp, paper, oriented strand board, lumber, millwork, and specialty products. Data compilation involves coordinating with multiple state agencies including the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development and the Minnesota Department of Revenue, as well as federal sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce, and U.S. Forest Service.
The 2023 report, which serves as the baseline template, documents 31,449 direct forest products jobs with $2.15 billion in labor income and $14.2 billion in value of shipments, while total economic effects including indirect and induced impacts reached 72,635 jobs, $4.7 billion in labor income, and $25.6 billion in gross sales. The report identifies Minnesota's forest industry as the fifth largest manufacturing sector by payroll employment, generating $291 million in state and local tax payments and ranking fourteenth nationally in forest industry value added per capita. Data sources include U.S. Census, Bureau of Economic Analysis, and U.S. Energy Information Administration, with timberland inventory tracked across multiple ownership categories including federal, state, county, and private lands totaling 15.7 million acres. Addendum #1 is referenced as containing additional specifications for the 2024 data collection and report update requirements.
