(Des Moines, IA) -- Central Iowa has seen a large increase in the number of warehouse jobs in the past three years. A report by Axios says Des Moines’ warehouse and “Amazon-type shipping jobs” market share has risen by 26% since February of 2019. That’s a major spike compared to the overall Iowa increase of 3% in the market share of warehouse jobs. The report says something that has helped attract shipping and transportation jobs to the area is the Des Moines junction of two major interstates: eighty and thirty-five.
