The forecast for employment opportunity in Kansas City is expected to grow exponentially, according to a recent report by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. The region seems slated for thousands of new jobs during the next couple of years, thanks to large investments by Ford Motors and GM to the area. Additional expansions come from the IT departments, health and health IT, and a strengthening real estate market.

The Kansas City movers know that several qualities make Kansas City a desirable place to expand and build business, such as a low cost of doing business, ease of travel in and out of the city, and high labor productivity. The expected growth would bring about 21,200 new jobs in 2013 and an additional 33,400 jobs in 2014. Job growth in 2012 has totaled 17,400 jobs. Personal income is projected to rise 2.8 percent next year, and an additional 5 percent by 2014.
