KCMO and KCKS are their in their own little bubble since they have firms that want to actually hire people to work there unlike Wichita where Beechcraft (under Goldman-Sachs prior to Textron's acquisition of the company) was outsourcing as much as they could to Mexico. Spirit Aerosystems seems to be doing okay, but they're not comparable to what Boeing was before their formation/acquisition. Other than light industrial and aerospace there's much not else in terms of job prospects. Everyone just sets up in KC or Overland Park or in Denver. A few will go to OKC, but not many.
