Everyone quotes the shortage. Here is the count Missouri actually has, by skill level and per resident, updated every night.
As of September 16, 2026, Missouri carries 1,446 licensed electricians on its state register.
A free report on your market: what the trade pays, how that compares with nearby counties, and where your credential sits against the local licensed workforce. No account needed.
Not comparable per resident: this register licenses CONTRACTORS (businesses and qualifying individuals) rather than individual tradespeople, so this is a count of licensed businesses, not of workers. A per-resident rate and a state ranking are withheld here because they would compare businesses against other states' individual tradespeople.
This page is a free snapshot of Missouri. Track the same market every night and see which contractors just got licensed, added a trade, or dropped off, and pull the full record, with contact details, on any of them. Ask it anything, track what matters, and get the weekly intelligence email. Free trial, cancel anytime.
ATI rebuilds the licensed skilled-trades workforce of all 3,144 counties every night. When something in it moves enough to matter, we write it up with the chart and send it. One finding, no pitch, and you do not need an account.
