Projected Job Growth
Wages in Missouri for auto mechanics are about the average for the entire nation so it is not great, but it is not bad. Although, working in metropolitan areas such as Kansas City, Springfield, or St. Louis will provide higher wages and there is more demand for auto mechanics in these areas. Moving between Kansas and Missouri will not provide much benefit but if you can move further east to Illinois, you will more likely find a higher wage and an easier time finding a job. If Missouri is your place, you will love all of the nature poking through urban life as Missouri has prioritized parks and nature conservatories within it’s major cities and all across the state.
