<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">A few years ago, the State of Missouri moved from stepped salary ranges and 850+ job classifications down to ~450 job classifications and stepless salary ranges. Following this, we have
attempted to maintain our salary structures as minimum wage adjustments, cost of living increases, economic indicator data, and appropriations have fluctuated. In order to work towards a potential solution, we are asking for your state’s feedback on the below
item.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

with us? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
