    Straight from the source. If you’re a contractor you can find your code on latest tax return otherwise contact your employer. Good luck you guys.

    Thought I’d share, alot of false information going around.

    I wonder where that list comes from? I read the executive order and it appeared to me that the trades were exempt from it.

    If you work for someone else I’m hoping you at least received an email saying if your job is essential or not

    We need to wait till things happen. Things change in a matter of hours. Until the bill is signed we will get an answer. Then we can go from there.

    Might want to wait till final words come out. According to your info, structural steel (metal) plants aren’t essential, yet I just talked to an owner of one and they just got an email from the governors office saying they are essential. I also work for an engineering firm which on your list says isn’t essential but we got word we are.

    My buddy said his boss got a email at a landscape/nursery business that they are considered essential. Seems like a big joke to me and not that many places are even being shut down

    Hi Matt,

    Construction is considered essential. Let me know if you have any other questions!

    The whole essential work thing is a Joke. They said like 75% of the jobs in Minnesota are going to be considered Essential. I don’t know one person who’s job has told them they are non-Essential and are closing due to this. Can someone tell me how a liquor store can be considered essential – other than the tax money that the state makes off of sales.

    The word essential is being thrown around like cheap candy in a parade. I’m not advocating every single business or function be shut down, but lets be accurate in choosing adjectives to describe this act from the Governor. I’ve been told department stores are essential? Liquor stores are essential? Landscaping is essential? My neighbor told me his son who works in an office for Direct TV was told he is essential? I’ve really only heard of restaurants, barbers, and small tourist shops being labeled as “non-essential” in our area and being forced to close their doors. I’m glad people are going to keep working and earning money, but the labels seem a bit off.

    I believe you need to think about your work settings. On an average workday how many people will you come in contact with?

    I read that if an alcoholic can’t get their booze, they could have a seizure and other effects with withdrawal symptoms that could land them in the hospital taking a hospital bed.

    Kind of Bizarre coming from a State that until not long ago couldn’t be open on Sundays.

    That’s a hell of a reach. But I guess not much more than the reason other companies are using to be considered essential.

    I seen the letter the state issued to the liquor stores. The hospitals encouraged the governor to included the liquor stores as essential. Fear of the hospitals being full of people with the DT’s after a couple weeks. Personally I don’t think they would have done it either way for a number of reasons.

    This is in fact true. An influx of those suffering the DT’s would flood the hospitals, but I think more so liquor stores would be the first to be looted if they were forced to close.

    We know how desperate chemical dependent people become when they need their next fix…alcohol would be a significant one.

    Alcohol withdrawal can legitimately kill you.

    There are so many more functioning alcoholics running around than you’d think.

    A lot more than we realize, we are 8 miles from town. Twice each summer I cut the grass in the county road ditch 1/2 mile each direction from my place then pick up the litter. Each time we fill a 55 gal can. Maybe a couple pop cans and the rest beer cans and liquor bottles.
