The income impact on the two counties
and to a lesser extent all of Kansas

Over half of this income, $25 million,
goes to households as payroll. Most of
this payroll ($21,325 million) is paid to
employees living in two counties,
Jackson and Shawnee. Citizens of
Kansas then spend about 43 percent of
their income on taxable items bought
in Kansas. To give these numbers
some perspective, the total personal
income in Jackson County in 1998
amounts to $259,372,000. The Bureau
of Economic Analysis posted this data
on the Internet on June 15, 2000.
Living Patterns
In a recent count, 62 employees live
on the reservation, 382 live in the rest
of Jackson County, 487 live in Shawnee
County, 21 live in Brown County, and
the rest live elsewhere in Kansas. The
gender breakdown is about 47 percent
male and 53 percent female.
These employees earned about 25
million dollars in 1999. These dollars
have helped stimulate the economies
of Jackson and Shawnee counties.
