Industries: Employment
by Industry
The Kansas City economy is very diverse without any one major industry dominating.
Source: Regional Economic Models Inc. (REMI)
The broad Services sector has the most employment with over 520,000 employees with the Government sector a distant second with 171,659 employees and Retail in third with 146,000. No other sector has more than 10% of the region's employment.
By in large, the breakdown of Kansas City's employment looks a lot like the nation's, although there are some notable exceptions which are discussed in more detail in the "Location Quotient" section.
