Missouri Adds 10,900 Manufacturing Jobs

Missouri gained 10,900 manufacturing jobs between December 2010 and last month.

The figures came this week from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“For generations, manufacturing has been a vital driver of Missouri’s economy, and modern manufacturing companies have offered opportunities for outstanding careers to folks across our state,” Nixon says in a written statement.

Nixon discussed the numbers during a visit to Tech Manufacturing, an aerospace parts manufacturer in Wright City. The company’s work force has grown by 22% since 2008, currently at 67.
