Kansas job growth trails national rate study finds
A Kansas State University Cooperative Extension Service analysis of 89 major Kansas industries shows 1980 to 1985 employment grew below the national average. If Kansas had matched the national rate, the state would have gained about 72,000 jobs but added only 22,000. The report highlights concentrated county performance, urban shift in employment, and sectors such as finance, insurance, and real estate contributing to regional gaps. Local government remains a major employer in most counties.
