“Factory jobs unlikely to return to 1990s levels,” Minnesota Public Radio, Dec. 7, 2003. From this MPR feature: “According to officials at the trade association Medical Alley, big medical device firms like Medtronic, Boston Scientific, and Guidant are expected to add thousands of jobs in Minnesota in coming years. Medical Alley officials say the industry's average wage is $55,000. But that's not enough, according to Fred Zimmerman is a professor of manufacturing at the University of St. Thomas in the Twin Cities. ‘Clearly one of Minnesota's great strengths is medical technology. However, what I fear is that we are thinking that's sufficient. It's excellent that we have it. It's not sufficient, because we need more jobs of that caliber,’ says Zimmerman.”
