The state of Mississippi and the entire nation has been going through a recession and the economy has been sluggish. Neshoba County has suffered as have most counties in Mississippi. Recent figures have shown that we hit an all time high with an over 11 percent unemployment rate. Many families are doing without many necessities and the poverty rate for Neshoba County has increased to over 25 percent. Unfortunately, the rate of poverty for children under the age of six is 28 percent. Many individuals are struggling to find employment. Some are being forced to look for employment outside of Neshoba County
