About the data
Workforce data are presented in aggregate for informational purposes to describe municipal staffing trends. Counts are based on personnel actions recorded during the reporting period and should not be interpreted as measures of employee or bargaining unit performance. The following data conforms with the Minnesota Data Practices Act.

Definititions
New Hires: An individual who joins the City’s workforce for the first time during the reporting period. This includes employees hired into full-time, part-time, or temporary/seasonal status.
Rehires: An individual who previously worked for the City, separated from employment, and was hired again during the reporting period through a competitive recruitment process. Rehires are reported separately from new hires because they are returning employees rather than first-time employees.
Terminations: An employee whose employment with the City ended during the reporting period, regardless of the reason.
