Taxpayers Research Institute Issues Report on Missouri Quality Jobs

The Taxpayers Research Institute of Missouri has issued a report showing the impact of the Missouri Quality Jobs Act. You may access the full report at www.motaxpayers.com - just click on the "Report" tab and then click on the cover of the report.


The report shows the program, originally championed by the Missouri Economic Development Council, has produced fantastic results: 12,500 jobs with an average annual wage of $46,856, returning $3.18 to the state for every dollar of tax money invested.


The MEDC thanks the sponsor of the legislation, Rep. Ron Richards, for his leadership in passing the bill in the House today (see full article below).
