Mississippi sees high number of job openings
SUMMARY: Mississippi's economy is thriving with many job openings, but not enough people to fill them. Occupations in high demand include registered nurses, fast food workers, retail sales, general managers, first-line supervisors, and physicians. The state has a low unemployment rate, with jobs available in various sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, education, retail, transportation, and public administration. The mass exodus of Baby Boomers, early retirements, and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic have contributed to the mismatch between job openings and applicants. Experts note a shortage of workers in the hospitality industry and believe that many who left the job market are now returning.
