Governor Jay Nixon

Missouri has the right workforce to support the automobile industry.

Access to skilled labor means higher productiv-ity, higher quality of product and higher profits. With a workforce of more than three million, Missouri counts its people among its greatest resources.

Education and training enhance our worker profile with nearly 140 degree granting institu-tions statewide.

Missouri’s labor force exceeds the entire populations of 20 states, including neighboring Kansas, Arkansas and Nebraska.

Manufacturing employs 256,200 Missourians in over 6,600 establishments, making up 9.4 percent of the state’s total employment (BLS, 2014).

Over 4,000 degrees in engineering related fields are awarded each year in the state (National Center for Education Statistics, 2013).

Missouri ranked 4th in 2014 for number of completed apprenticeships, with over 7,000 total apprentices enrolled, according to the U.S. Dept. of Labor.

In 2012, Missouri was selected as one of the first four states to participate in the Certified Work Ready Communities initiative by American College Testing (ACT), and now leads the nation in the number of fully certified counties. The initiative aligns workforce training programs with the economic development needs of communities; matches appropriate applicants to jobs based on skill level; and strengthens businesses by strengthening the workforce.

Advanced manufacturing employmentAdvanced manufacturing wages in Missouri are 12 percent lower than the U.S. average.

108,077 Missourians are employed in advanced manufacturing positions, accounting for 42.2 percent of the state’s total manufacturing jobs.

52,540 Missourians are employed in transpor-tation equipment manufacturing positions, accounting for 28.9 percent of the state’s total manufacturing employment.
