“We love it when homegrown Missouri businesses choose to continue growing in our state,” Missouri Governor Mike Parson said. “To make this project happen, it took a lot of collaboration between state and local partners, across workforce, economic development and government. We want to thank everyone who was at the table, working for this business and the community of Eldon.”
The Missouri Department of Economic Development announced today the search for a new director for its Office of Public Counsel.
The Department of Economic Development’s Division of Workforce Development announced today the award of $5.1 million to 186 companies across Missouri to help train workers for new and existing positions.
This is down 0.3 percent over the past year, and the last time the state’s unemployment rate was lower than 3.3 percent was in February 2000.  Missouri’s rate has been lower than the comparable U.S. rate, currently 3.9 percent, for 40 consecutive months.
