Who does the work, and what stays in Missouri?
Inspect employers, union trades, subcontracting and what is known about local hires, traveling crews and permanent relocation. Select a project to open its evidence. Projects are listed A–Z; placement is not an importance ranking.
Coverage now includes data centers, Ameren Missouri wind and solar centers, Vestas-linked equipment and proposed or constructing battery storage. This is an expanding research file, not a complete statewide labor census.

For corporate infrastructure across Missouri, including Ameren Missouri, Vestas-linked wind work, solar, battery storage, data centers, transmission, road and other major projects: project owner, prime contractor, subcontractor and trade; company headquarters and Missouri office; named union local and documented participation; reported headcount and labor hours; apprenticeships and local-hire outcomes; aggregate home-state totals; temporary travel, per diem or lodging and permanent relocation where documented. Dates, project phases and evidence limits stay attached to each finding.
New verified findings appear by publication date in the research ledger. The project directory stays A–Z. A private worker’s home address, contact information or inferred residence is not needed to explain workforce origin.
Sources to pursue: public contracts and subcontract awards, permit contractor records, published project labor agreements, public workforce-compliance reports, union project reports and employer disclosures. Where public payroll records are available, publish only the necessary aggregate totals. A job advertisement establishes recruitment terms, not that someone was hired or moved.
