Note: Numbers shown are based on data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey via the Minnesota Population Center. The figures are subject to errors related to sampling and the structure of the survey, particularly for smaller immigrant and occupation groups. Country designations are generally based on current definitions and borders, but with some exceptions due to limitations of the census data. For example, workers born in Serbia were counted as being born in Yugoslavia. However, many workers born in the former Soviet Union are classified according to current boundaries.
