What WIOA pays for in Missouri

In program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025), WIOA paid toward the training of at least 548 people at programs Missouri approved in the fields on this site. 57% of them were in CDL training, against 37% across the US.1

How the Missouri WIOA numbers are made

  • Programs: every program in the fields on this site that Missouri approved for WIOA funding, from the US Department of Labor's file for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025).
  • People WIOA paid for: each program's count of people who trained there with a WIOA training account. Programs report it only from 3 people up, and some report nothing, so the totals are minimums.
  • Per 100,000 residents: approved programs divided by the Census Bureau's population estimate for July 1, 2024.2
  • Metro areas are the Census Bureau's; a program counts where its classes are held.
