Slowing quickly now, soon to be at a dead stop. - 7/26/2008

So many of the major employers in this area are laying off or have laid off large amounts of their work force. Even though this is the state capitol of Missouri, getting a state job does not mean that you will be paid well. What this state pays it's employees is embarrassing. If you can hold on for 20 years, your retirement will be very nice though. A CPA with many years of experience can expect to start at $40K, $45 to $50 if you want to live in, or drive to Columbia, MO. Very small town attitude that basically rolls up the sidewalks at 10pm. Most people go to Columbia, MO for a night on the town, when they can afford it. Major employers are of course the state which includes all factions of office workers. We also have two prisons here within 17 miles, so if you have worked as a guard, or would like to, I'm sure the state would love to hear from you. Your starting pay will be around $10.00 per hour. Excellent benefits as well. If you choose to come to Jefferson City, MO, make sure you have gainful employment and at the very least come and see the town before resettling here.[read more...]
