Employment is not bad. There are a decent amount of jobs available in Jefferson City and Columbia. The cost of living is not as high as some areas, so salaries are generally lower.

Missouri weather is constantly changing. There usually isn't much to worry about other than tornadoes.
There is not a lot of crime in this area. There is, however, the occasional instance when a car is broken in to and a purse is stolen.
