The performance of the economy in Mississippi is lagging that of other states. Where most of the other states in the county have seen a steady decline in the unemployment rate, the Magnolia State has seen its percentage of jobless residents stay relatively flat for quite some time, with only some recent movement to the downside. State officials are pleased in that the state seems to finally be making some progress, but they realize that they still have work to do.
