Major Employers

Warrensburg’s heartland work ethic and community pride make it a great place to do business and several local companies have chosen to remain here even after growing to national and international prominence. This has created a diversified job base capable of weathering economic ups and downs.

In the public sector, major employers include Central Missouri State University and nearby Whiteman Air Force Base.  Private firms have also contributed to the area’s high employment rate and bright economic outlook.
