SUMMARY: Mississippi’s tourism industry is facing a labor shortage as the summer travel season begins. From shrimping boats to museums, businesses are struggling to find enough workers to meet the demand. Seasonal employees like David Graham, a former Air Force member now working on a shrimping boat, are essential to keeping operations running. With fewer student workers due to changing school calendars, businesses are relying on volunteers and retirees. Experts suggest year-round training and job sharing as potential solutions. Mississippi’s tourism sector, which attracts 43 million visitors annually, continues to grow but faces staffing challenges.
