On the economy, Reeves pointed to a report released on Friday showing the number of jobs in Mississippi was at an all-time high. That follows another report showing Mississippi’s per capita income grew at the second-fastest rate in America in 2024. “We have more jobs, more people working, and in those jobs, people are making more money than they ever made before. That is what it is all about, the sign of good leadership and good policies being enacted for the people of Mississippi,” Reeves said. Along with the session that starts in January, Governor Reeves said 2026 will be a banner year as Mississippi helps America celebrate its 250th birthday.
