MAIN Statewide, agriculture leads the list of Missouri industries producing a record number of hogs and cattle, corn and soy beans on more than 100,000 farms statewide (second only to Texas.) More than half the population lives in Missouri's two major cities - Kansas City and St. Louis - where education, health care, and a growing biotech sector remain major draws for employment seekers in metropolitan Missouri. Home to the iconic Gateway Arch in St. Louis, stage spectacles in Branson ("the Las Vegas of the Midwest") as well as eye-popping scenery in the Ozarks, Missouri's modern economy is also buttressed by a booming tourism industry.
