  • In addition to employment discrimination, the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA) also prohibits business discrimination based on race, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation or disability. See Minnesota Human Rights Act.
  • Private employers in Minnesota may, but are not required to, offer a hiring preference to veterans. See Veterans Preference.
