Where The Supply Chain Jobs Are In Kansas

Kansas’s largest by headcount: buyers and purchasing agents (6,470), then production, planning, and expediting clerks (4,320) and industrial production managers (2,420). Kansas holds 0.5% of U.S. jobs in the managers’ occupation, and Kansas logisticians are 0.7% of the U.S. total.

The managers’ occupation has 0.799 jobs per 1,000 in Kansas (location quotient 0.56), ranking Kansas 40th of 50 and well below the national share. In Kansas, logisticians hold 1.237 jobs per 1,000 (0.77 quotient, 32nd).

Compliance officers and operations research analysts are left out of this count: both occupations reach well beyond supply chain work. “The managers’ occupation” is transportation, storage and distribution managers. A location quotient of 1.0 means the occupation’s share of jobs matches the national share.

The framework forecasts Kansas’s tonnage to grow 68.1% by 2050 and its real value 91.1%.
