April 10, 2025 (SAINT PAUL) — Attorney General Ellison announced today that, for the second year in a row, the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office has been recognized as a 4 Star Employer in the 2025 VETS Indexes Employer Awards – one of the program’s very highest distinctions – because of the office’s strong commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing, and supporting veterans and the military-connected community.

I am committed to continuing our efforts to make the Attorney General’s Office the best workplace possible for our veterans.”
The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office has multiple employee resource groups (ERG), which provide support, resources, and professional development opportunities to participating staff members.

“The Office of the Minnesota Attorney General has demonstrated exceptional support for veterans and the military-connected community, earning the organization one of the most prestigious awards possible in the VETS Indexes Employer Awards program,” said George Altman, president of VETS Indexes.
“Even as more organizations than ever before are recognizing the uniquely valuable skills that veterans bring as employees, the efforts of the Office of the Minnesota Attorney General to recruit, retain, develop, and support those who served, as well as their families, stand out from the pack,” added Altman. “The Office of the Minnesota Attorney General is among the very best veteran employers, and its program can serve as a model for others.”
The Attorney General’s Office was also named a 4 Star Employer by VETS Index in 2024. Additionally, the Attorney General’s Office has been named a top workplace for the last four years in a row by both the Star Tribune and USA Today.
