What Investor's Business Daily chose to 'overlooked'.
Seasonally adjusted data released Friday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that Kansas had 21,000 more residents employed in private-sector, nonfarm jobs in February than in February 2014. That’s an increase of nearly 1.9 percent, to 1.15 million.
Utah had the nation’s best growth rate of more than 4.8 percent.
