Empower Mississippi

So now I, I was looking...

Uh, I listened to your podcast, uh, with Empower Mississippi and Grant Callen, and you talked about Akron and Detroit.

And all the cities, uh, I, I looked at the population stats on all the nearby cities, and I did notice that Akron, which had been losing population every decade for four or five decades, the projection for the first five years, the most recent five years, is stable, uh, which is interesting, so I wanna get you to talk about that.

And then I went and looked at Detroit, and we all know about Detroit and all its problems.

A study found that Mississippi has one of the lowest labor force participation rates in the US.

Rebecca Staples with Empower Mississippi tells us more.

One of the lowest labor force participation rates in America.

But what we learned, by and large, people want to work.
