Financial advice for new grads in Minnesota

It’s graduation season. Students across the state are putting on their caps and gowns as they wrap up their high school and college careers — and prepare to join the workforce full-time.

Some new grads are having a hard time finding full-time jobs. Others might be navigating a full-time paycheck — and paying for rent and groceries on their own for the first time. 

MPR News host Angela Davis talked Monday with two financial experts who share financial advice for students as they leave high school or college, and how the steps they take now can help them form a solid financial foundation early in their careers.

Guests:   

• Chris Farrell is MPR’s senior economics contributor.
