The legislature eliminated income tax on the first $10,000 of income and is phasing out the corporate franchise tax entirely, moves that reduce the burden on S-Corp and LLC owners across the state. Manufacturing remains the economic backbone, with automotive plants from Toyota, Nissan, and Ingalls Shipbuilding employing tens of thousands. The healthcare sector is the largest employer in many Mississippi cities, from the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson to regional hospitals in Hattiesburg, Tupelo, and the Gulf Coast. Agriculture contributes billions annually through catfish farming in the Delta, poultry operations in Central Mississippi, and timber harvesting statewide. The Gulf Coast’s casino and tourism economy in Biloxi and Gulfport generates significant hospitality revenue. Mississippi’s cost of doing business ranks among the lowest in the nation, with affordable commercial real estate and labor costs that attract manufacturers and service companies.
