I don't know if the current situation is that much different from what it was 
eight years ago, but Missouri would have had to make drastic changes to meet 
the "no benifits allowed" policies in Kansas.  I wouldn't call zero benefits 
"paying a lot better".  Like I said, you only get benefits if your employer 
reports the lay-off as a result of economic conditions, and they have all the 
incentive in the world to report something else.
