During my recent trip to St.Louis I have conducted thorough research and data gathering for the Missouri Department of Economic Development. While I still have to tweak the percentages to more precise levels, preliminary data is clear – despite what was previously thought, farming and manufacturing are only visible on the chart because they are combined in the same section with the check-cashing and cash-for-gold operations.
*data was only collected along the so-called I70 corridor and is based largely on billboards and inflatable Godzilla’s.
