GENERAL FINDINGS Many cities and regions in America strive to become what Jefferson City/Cole County already is! The area of influence for work and commercial activity makes Jefferson City/Cole County a major economic center io Missouri. The following are general findiogs with significant impact for Jefferson City/Cole County and the ten- county region. • The highest per capita and household iocome io the ten-county central Missouri area. • Employment and job growth iocreasiog at a :fuster rate than the state of Missouri. • Historical unemployment levels lower than the ten-county average and considerably lower than the state and national averages. • A highly productive workforce with 55.8% of the ten-county region population employed. This compares with 51.6% for the State of Missouri. • A higher than average retail sales per capita for the region and the state. • A lower than average percentage of person below poverty in the ten county region and considerably below the state average. • A :faster growth rate of private sector employers than the region and the State of Missouri. This type of environment presents many opportunities for highly skilled technical and professional workers either for employment in the diversified public and private job markets or as entrepreneurs in small business.

Opportunities exist in the computer technology field with demand also for many other technical skills such as carpentry and nursing and in science and math from teachers to engineers. Combining economic opportunity with quality of life, Jefferson City becomes one of the more attractive areas in the Midwest if not in the entire country for working and fumily life.
