Worth knowing: Oracle Health (legacy Cerner, ~12,000 KC-area employees) is the country's largest single-state concentration of clinical-software TPM + implementation PM talent. Following the Oracle acquisition June 2022 ($28.3B), Oracle Health has retained Kansas City as the EHR modernization + clinical decision support hub. Senior TPMs at Oracle Health earn $140-210K TC. Boeing Defense, Space & Security operates ~14,000-employee Mascoutah-Hazelwood-Berkeley campus complex in greater St. Louis with substantial classified defense-program management work — senior cleared PMs $135-195K with security clearance premium. PMI St. Louis Chapter (~2,000 members) and PMI Mid-America Kansas City Chapter (~1,500 members) anchor robust PMP + PgMP credentialing community. The 1% city earnings tax in St. Louis AND Kansas City applies to non-resident PM wages earned within city limits — most senior MO PMs are at suburban offices (Maryland Heights Edward Jones, North Kansas City Oracle Health, Clayton Centene, Hazelwood / Berkeley Boeing Defense) all outside city limits, avoiding the 1% tax. Downtown STL or KC PMs face the full 5.95% combined.
