Minnesota has the 22th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 1 percent under the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 9 percent under, while goods sit 1 percent over and services 0 percent over. That matters more than the headline number, because housing is the part a tax-free stipend is meant to cover and the rest comes out of taxed wages.

Common questions

How much does a travel LTC/SNF nurse make in Minnesota?
The median advertised pay for a travel LTC/SNF contract in Minnesota is $1,868 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $1,749 and $1,987. Measured across 2 active travel LTC/SNF contracts in Minnesota at 1 facilities, as of 2026-09-15. These are advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends, not take-home.
Where does this LTC/SNF pay figure come from?
From the travel contracts currently posted on CircleRN, not from an industry survey or an estimate. No federal source publishes pay by nursing specialty: the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports registered nurses as a single occupation, so there is no official median for an ICU or a labor and delivery nurse. We publish the median rather than the average because one crisis-rate assignment moves an average enough to misrepresent the market.
