The Twin Cities ranked as the top two cities wth the best work-life balance in the United States, according to this year's study by Coworking Cafe. The study's results come from analyzing 100 of the largest cities in the country, where they compared citizens' work hours, access to parks, air quality, healthcare, income, and costs of living.

Minneapolis beat the rest of the list for one important reason—it’s affordability. Combined with an average commute time of 22.5 minutes and the fact that 94.1% of residents are covered by health insurance, Minneapolis makes it clear that citizens' well-being is a priority.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
