The Kansas City metro ranks 12th in the list of 55 America’s hottest job markets highlighted in this WSJ article. We have a balanced performance across various metrics considered for ranking, including our unemployment rate, labor-force participation rate, changes to employment levels, the size of the labor force, and changes in average weekly wages. Although we are not at the very top of the list, Kansas City's placement within the top 15 indicates a strong job market relative to many other metropolitan areas across the United States. The analysis, which was a collaborative effort between The Wall Street Journal and Moody’s Analytics, reviewed around 380 metro areas and distinguished the rankings based on the size of the metropolitan areas—separating those with more than one million residents from smaller ones. Kansas City's notable position suggests that, despite not being a traditional tech or finance hub like Salt Lake City or cities in Florida that dominated the rankings, we have our own, unique strengths in the labor market. This includes a diverse economy, favorable business conditions, and specific industry clusters contributing to our overall job market health. I would also contend we have a major geographic advantage with large amounts of available land, world-class infrastructure, vast agricultural assets, and clean energy resources. Kansas City's ranking among cities known for their tech and finance sectors, or those with significant growth in such industries, underscores the broader shift in the U.S. job market landscape. It reflects a trend where more affordable cities with diverse economic bases and quality of life offerings are increasingly becoming attractive to the workforce, including remote workers and those in traditional as well as emerging industries. Now is the time we need to take full advantage of this trend. #riseoftherest #diversifiedeconomy #attractivelifestyles #talent #richresources #futurefocus #kansascity

⛰️☀️ Follow the mountains and sunshine for the best job markets in America. Salt Lake City was the country’s hottest job market in 2023, followed by three cities in Florida: Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa. Miami also made the top 10, making Florida the top state last year. Workers flocked to Mountain West and Sunbelt cities for their plentiful job opportunities, wage growth, affordability and recreational offerings. The Wall Street Journal, working with Moody's Analytics, determined the strongest labor markets based on five factors: the unemployment rate, the labor-force participation rate, changes to employment levels, the size of the labor force and wages. Cities with strong job markets were those well-positioned as affordable alternatives to the traditional tech and financial hubs. ▪ For over a decade, Salt Lake City has attracted white-collar workers from the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. This migration increased after the pandemic, drawing in young workers with a deepened desire for easy access to the great outdoors. ▪ Meanwhile, Florida as a whole continues to be a magnet for remote workers who like the affordability and the lack of a state income tax.

Silicon Slopes: For over a decade, Salt Lake City has attracted white-collar workers from the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. Many of the workers have taken jobs in Salt Lake City’s tech hub, aptly referred to as “Silicon Slopes.” They have also been able to buy homes after being priced out of California cities. This migration increased after the pandemic, drawing in young workers with a deepened desire for easy access to the great outdoors. “There’s a virtuous cycle where young, highly educated workers are moving into Salt Lake City and bringing in more money to that area,” said Adam Kamins, an economist at Moody’s Analytics. Salt Lake City performed well across all five metrics, with the second-highest rate of labor-force participation and fifth-strongest growth in wages.
