ST. LOUIS, (PRNewswire) March 28, 2005 - Employment rebounded in February in most of Missouri's metropolitan areas including St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbia.
Temporary drops that occurred in January - particularly in school
employment and in the automobile industry in St. Louis - were reversed, according to a new report by the Missouri Department of Economic Development.
Leisure and hospitality employment began to edge up from January lows. Retail trade and construction employment generally remained at winter levels, however.
The areas that had experienced the larger decreases in January generally had the larger February increases. Changes in total non-farm employment between January and February were:
• Columbia MSA: 3,400 jobs, mostly in schools and colleges

• St. Louis MSA: 9,900 jobs, mostly in public schools, construction, motor vehicle manufacturing, professional and business services, and educational and health services
• Springfield MSA: 1,300 jobs, spread through a number of industries.
St. Louis MSA employment increased by 20,800 jobs, or 1.6 percent, between
February 2004 and February 2005. Goods-producing industries grew by 4,300 while the serviceproviding industries added 16,500 jobs. Manufacturing employment was up by 1,500, mainly the result of new aerospace industry contracts. Natural resources and construction added 2,800.
Over-the-year job losses occurred in motor vehicle manufacturing, air transportation, telecommunications, and management of companies.
The greatest decreases in unemployment rates occurred in Columbia, Jefferson City, and St. Louis, where rates fell by four-tenths of a point. From low to
high, February unemployment rates were 3.9 percent in Columbia, 5.1 in Jefferson City and Springfield, 5.6 in Joplin, 5.7 in Kansas City, 6.3 in St. Louis, and 7.4 in St. Joseph.
