Missouri’s unemployment rate dropped by 1.2 percentage points in 2015 compared to 2014, nearly the largest improvement of any state. However, at 5.0%, the state’s unemployment rate is still just slightly below the national jobless rate of 5.2%. As in many other relatively low income states, Missouri’s median home value of $147,800 is more than $40,000 below the national benchmark of $194,500.
