The spread is the OEWS 75th percentile minus the 25th percentile, divided by the state median, shown as a percent. Both percentiles have to be published. The 5 widest spreads in Missouri are shown. OEWS May 2025. Sorted by that spread, Missouri is 26 of 51. A row links to the Missouri metro page with the highest public market difficulty score for that occupation when one is published, and otherwise to the occupation page on the hiring grid. An unpublished percentile or employment count is shown as unpublished rather than replaced with a zero. The wages are annual OEWS figures. They are not job listings and they are not an employer's current offer. Read the comparison beside the dollar figures: a high state wage can still sit under the national median for that occupation, and a lower state wage can still sit above it. Rounded figures in the prose: $46,160 is stated as about $46.2K. $60,300 is stated as about $60.3K. $78,330 is stated as about $78.3K. $135,130 is stated as about $135.1K.
