A comprehensive Regional Labor Availability Analysis has been completed for the Central Missouri Economic Deelopment Alliance (CMEDA).  the CMEDA region includes the counties of Henry, Johnson, Lafayette, Pettis, and Saline.  The report details both skills and potential employees available within the area.  Designed as County-specific labor basins, the study was conducted by the Docking Institute of Public Affairs, a nationally recognized survey and labor analysis organization.  This labor analysis determines skills availability, recruiting wage parameters, and a complete statistical “snapshot” of the local workforce.  The study began in January and was completed May 2009.  The results of this study can be reviewed at Regional Labor Study.
