A new report released by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Monday finds the state’s technology jobs are increasing at a faster pace than all of its neighboring states.
The Technology2030 report was compiled by North Carolina-based Economic Leadership for the chamber and shows the state’s tech job force grew by 10.5% between 2017 and 2022.
That ranks just 30th in the nation but is higher than all neighboring states including Illinois, which ranks 37th.
