Counties with the highest unemployment in Mississippi
SUMMARY: Unemployment rates have decreased since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, but fears of job losses remain as the economy faces uncertainty. Factors like student loan payments, gas prices, inflation, and insurance costs could limit consumer spending and lead to another recession. As of October 2023, the national unemployment rate is 3.9%, with varying rates by state and county. Mississippi has counties with unemployment rates ranging from 2.9% to 8.0%. However, some counties have seen a decrease in unemployment rates over the past month and year, indicating positive changes. This data was reported by Paxtyn Merten and is part of a series using data automation across all 50 states.
