Labor Day is a chance to recognize the people whose skills and hard work keep America moving. In South Dakota, that means workers who build infrastructure, operate equipment, maintain power systems, construct businesses and homes and produce the energy that keeps communities running — and who will help determine what comes next.

Wind farms across the state are generating electricity, creating jobs, supporting landowners and bringing new economic activity to rural communities.
That success is more than an environmental story. It is a workforce story.
