Governor Tate Reeves issued the following statement.
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.
Kingfish note: Unfortunately, the labor participation rate is 55.3%. It was 55.5% in June, rose to 56.1% in July, then fell to 55.3% in August. It was 63.9% 30 years ago. The graph below was published by the St. Louis Fed.

If you've ever been able to visit the grocery store during working hours Monday thru Friday and seen just how many people are there in practically pajamas, walking around, taking their time to shop, you immediately wonder how in the world is it possible. It seems like so many people are now able to not work and also afford a car, iPhone, big grocery bill, couple kids and more. It makes no sense. And the majority of these individuals are very overweight and unhealthy which indicates they are pretty well off financially. (they do NOT need to be wearing such tight pajamas in public)
Yet more GOP lies.
30 years ago was Bill Clinton's economy.
The economy and jobs numbers were also better under Obama after Bush's disastrous 8 years.
Trump was an unmitigated disaster and he has continued that trend.
Finally, some good news! Go Tater Tot! Now let's pray congress passes a bill to fund the federal govt. The Federal is due to shut down in 2 days!
Sorry your girls lost.
@10:15 AM You need to go wash yourself. I'm sure you smell stanking stale with the same old same old excuses.
@10:27
I’m not a democrat and would’ve preferred Rand or Ron Paul. Even Thomas Massie at this point.
How’s that MIGA working out for you? Damn sure ain’t MAGA.
I know it is important to you KF but if the St Louie Fed overlayed the % of Mississippian's on the govt teat on top of that labor participation rate graph everyone would see the picture more clearly.
One other point, Reeves should get in his car and drive unannounced to the Amazon site up in Madison County for a cold hard dose of reality as to how many non-Mississippians are being employed by the construction jobs there.
@10:35 Yet again a literal, uneducated brain-let can’t argue the historical numbers so they resort to personal attacks and childish insults.
Bravo 10:41. The elites always over look the reality that the 'building' business in Mississippi employs the most 'aliens' who send the most money out of our state. But elites are getting richer so it really doesn't matter if the community is being properly served or Americans have jobs. No one bothers it investigate the industry that provides a large percentage of illegals a ticket to our communities, schools, homes, healthcare, etc.
@10:15 AM Bennie, thanks for checking in.
10:10 Walmart in Magee has Pajama nights on Friday! Also the schools are allowing the students to wear, pajamas, house shoes, bonnets and fake eye lashes as long as windshield wipers.
Schumer’s shutdown.
We were 50th when Tate came in and will be 50th when his term ends.
What happened to the $4 TRILLION up in Backwater County or whether the hell it was? $4 trillion in something-something-something certainly seems like it'd be more noteworthy than a pissant little $6 billion data center. It all makes a thinking person wonder if all these numbers getting tossed about by politicians and "development" folks mean what they claim they mean.
It is going to be real interesting next year when folks who vote but aren't hardcore supporters of Trump or the DNC go the polls. When they ask themselves, "Is my family better off now than it was two years ago?," things could get spicy. If a few might forget ask themselves that question, I'm sure they'll get a reminder from certain campaigns. Plus, given the almost certain infighting that will be gearing up in Trumpworld, the spice level will be well beyond what the average person enjoys. For a preview, review 2006 (Bush) and 2014 (Obama), and take into account that the current round of gerrymandering will largely be a wash.
With the mentality of a majority of this state, we will remain at 50th.
Ya know, Biden/Harris could make a comeback in 2028. Or better, AOC/Waltz. There is no way that would fail.
