Governor Tate Reeves issued the following statement.
Governor Tate Reeves today announced that Mississippi’s total nonfarm employment reached a new record high in July with 1,196,200 jobs.
“There’s been no shortage of record-breaking economic news for Mississippi over the last six-plus years,” said Governor Tate Reeves. “It’s amazing to see what our state is accomplishing and how it’s improving the lives of people across Mississippi. It seems like every week we’re announcing another economic win that’s helping continue Mississippi’s unprecedented momentum. Thanks to the people who live here and our economic development efforts, we’ve been able to change the trajectory of our state. The victories we’re putting up now are going to last for decades. I’m incredibly proud to call myself a Mississippian.”
Since Governor Reeves took office, over $85 billion in new private sector investment has been announced, the six largest economic development projects in state history have been finalized, and thousands of high-paying jobs have been created across the state. Mississippi is second in America for growth in job openings since 2020, with hiring demand up nearly 20%. The U.S. state average was -9.6%.
Additionally, during Governor Reeves' term, the state has had an all-time low unemployment rate multiple times and the second-fastest-growing GDP in the United States. Mississippi was second in the nation for household income growth and had the fourth-fastest-growing per capita income in America.
Kingfish note: Unfortunately, the labor participation fell to 54.9% in June.

Temporary construction jobs at the Data Centers don't count Tater Head. Mississippi sucks and so does the Republican and Democratic leadership!!!
There is absolutely no way to verify anything Reeves said. None.
Mississippi's government is completely compromised, and if you say it out loud they will scream: "You hate Mississippi! Well, why don't you just leave?". I can't stand Delbert, but lately he's the only one speaking to some real issues within the school systems that are going to be Mississippi's downfall.
No one is minding the story people. Not the Attorney General, not the Auditor, not the Speaker, and no one in the Legislature. The Supreme Court is merely an extension of Barbour and Lord Snow. The state needs an enema.
It is amazing to me that politicians take credit for things like this, which reeves does ALL THROUGH this article.
Since no AI company has recorded a net profit , where are the funds to pay for Data Centers coming from long term
I'm going with 12:25 for the win!
Anyone searching for a job can smell the BS from five states over. Who do these idiots think they are fooling with these outlandish claims?
I'm betting your idea for a better Mississippi is a balloon release.
Great Tater. Now tell us how many billions have been given to the companies and the breakeven period of those incentives such as the one that lets companies get a rebate for up to 10 years of 90% of Mississippi payroll taxes withheld.
