Traditional Midwest attitudes have created a workforce that understands a hard day's work for a good day's pay. Our average labor cost is well below both the national and state average.
Available labor is in abundance with 89,360 workers available within an hour drive. We work hard to train employees through innovative programs offeredy by the University Extension Service, Macon Vocational/Technical School and the Missouri Customized Training Program.
