Labor

Labor availability in Doniphan County is not a problem. Our Labor Market Area (LMA), within a 35 mile radius. an area of 20 minutes driving distance, contains over 175,000 people. The area includes the counties of Atchison, Brown, Doniphan and Nemaha in Kansas and Andrew, Buchanan and Platte in Missouri.

Located in a constitutionally guaranteed “Right-to-Work” state provides both employees and employers a labor environment conducive to high productivity. Much of the county’s industrial growth is attributed to good labor-management relations. Unionization in Kansas is well below the national average.

Kansas is also an employment at will state. View more information about Kansas Labor Laws and Requirements as well at Workforce Safety information online at Kansas Department of Labor.
