Woodbury, Minn., Will Lose 1,000 Jobs as State Farm Insurance Moves Operations.

Saint Paul Pioneer Press, Minn. Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News

Apr. 25--State Farm Insurance will move its main operations for Minnesota and five other states from Woodbury to Lincoln, Neb., over the next several years, resulting in a local loss of about 1,000 jobs.

State Farm, the largest home and auto insurer in Minnesota, will move 140 general department managers to Lincoln by July 2004, company executives said Wednesday.

Another 860 employees are in a kind of employment limbo. They can apply for jobs in Lincoln as positions come open.
