What this tracks
This dataset records the names, positions, agencies, and gross pay of Missouri state employees in 2020.
Why it matters to you
If you’re considering a job with the state, this data shows what similar roles actually pay — not just the posted salary range. A small business owner bidding on state contracts could check whether the agency they’re working with has budget for new hires, which might signal upcoming projects. Missouri residents can see how tax dollars fund positions across agencies like Agriculture or Corrections.
