Number of Jobs in Mississippi Again Reaches New All-Time High
JACKSON, Miss. - Governor Tate Reeves today announced that Mississippi's total non-farm employment reached a new record high in August with 1,205,500 jobs.
"Mississippi is making history - we did it again today," said Governor Tate Reeves. "Record private sector investment, higher wages, more jobs - that's what's happening in Mississippi. We went to work on behalf of Mississippians, and we've delivered tangible results. It's another great day for our state."
Today's news is the latest historic win for Mississippi. Earlier this week, Governor Reeves announced that in 2024, Mississippi was ranked second in America for household income growth. In August, Governor Reeves unveiled that AVAIO Digital is constructing a $6 billion data center campus at the East Metropolitan Center Business and Industrial Park in Brandon. The economic development project is the third largest in state history. Since Governor Reeves took this office, over $41 billion in new private sector investment has been announced, and thousands of high-paying jobs have been created across the state.
