Mississippi's economy has diversified beyond its agricultural roots into advanced manufacturing—including Nissan and Toyota plants—shipbuilding at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, military installations like Keesler Air Force Base and Stennis Space Center, healthcare, casino gaming along the Gulf Coast, and a growing automotive supplier network.
Mississippi's income tax reform is moving toward a single flat rate, simplifying compliance. The uniform 7% sales tax with limited local additions keeps retail bookkeeping straightforward. The state's low cost of living—the lowest in the nation—means business overhead costs are minimal, making profitability achievable at lower revenue levels.
Mississippi offers competitive incentive programs including the Advantage Jobs program, the Mississippi Major Economic Impact Act for large projects, and the Momentum Mississippi initiative. Manufacturing businesses benefit from sales tax exemptions on machinery, and the shipbuilding industry at Ingalls receives specific defense-related support.
