Two views of Minneapolis's economy: the registered/startup layer and the street-level business fabric, with the largest tracked employers.
The economy is broad, with marketing, software, technology services, real estate and healthcare prominent among companies. Target, UnitedHealth Group, Cargill and US Bank provide major corporate anchors. Sutter Health's planned acquisition of Minneapolis-based Allina Health shows that healthcare remains strategically important.
