    Just In

    August 2014

    fedgazette: Regional Business and Economics Newspaper

    The fedgazette, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, focuses just on business and economics, right? While that is mostly true, you may not know that this quarterly publication addresses a wide variety of subjects as they relate to the economy in upper-Midwestern states. In the July issue alone, there are in-depth articles on minimum wage, Bakken oil fields energy production, and new metal mining development in the Ninth District. Recent issues have addressed a variety of subjects such as  STEM education and careers, energy transportation, and green jobs. The fedgazette archive contains issues back to 1989.

    Legislators and legislative staff can sign up for our Contents Pages service that allows you to receive the tables of contents for magazines, like the fedgazette. If you are already a Contents Pages subscriber, you may want to add the fedgazette to your list of titles.
