The States Where Jobs Are Disappearing and Where They’re Moving to Instead

Kansas also landed in balanced territory, with jobs being created and lost at the same rate. New work can come from agriculture, aviation, health care, logistics, education, and manufacturing, especially in and around larger job centers like Wichita and Kansas City.
