Working in Springfield
Employment Landscape
Springfield’s job market currently reflects modest expansion in select sectors and fairly intense competition in others. Healthcare remains a core employer, with Springfield metro support jobs tied to local hospitals and clinics, while food manufacturing continues to expand — companies like Vital Farms, Kraft Heinz, McCormick French’s and Ozarks Coca‑Cola/Dr Pepper Bottling employ over 3,000 people in food processing and packaging. The tech sector shows targeted strength: local players such as O’Reilly Automotive and Bass Pro are growing cloud, cybersecurity and AI teams, and Missouri as a whole is projected to rank among the top ten states for tech‑manufacturing job growth. At the same time, business services and information roles have stagnated or declined, leaving job seekers to navigate a region with pockets of growth amid broader slowdowns.

Typical Roles
Hiring Patterns
Hiring is strongest in healthcare, food processing, and logistics tied to regional manufacturing chains. Tech‑related roles in cloud computing and cybersecurity are in demand, though opportunities remain concentrated among few large employers. Business services and information sector hiring have been flat or declining.
"Finding a job here means picking your niche wisely; the openings are real in places like food manufacturing or tech, but elsewhere demand has slowed, so you have to target where growth actually exists."
