What changes a OT offer in Missouri

- Setting: Pediatric clinics, School districts, Hospitals and rehab price differently for the same credential.
- Caseload cap and billable or productivity target, which decide whether a bonus is real.
- Metro cost of living within the state; a city premium is not the same as a better offer.
- Scarcity: Consistently short in pediatrics and school contracts, especially where sensory integration or feeding experience is needed.
Why we do not publish a MO average
We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a Missouri average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.
