Annual Manpower Reports

Monthly PDF reports for the State, Gulfport-Biloxi, Hattiesburg, and Jackson Metropolitan Statistical Areas which present labor force and industry employment amounts. Listed below are reports from 2022 through current month available.

See Maps for MSA definitions/configurations. 

Annually at this time of year work is performed to revise labor force estimates from previous years, called benchmarking.  It should be noted that at any level other than statewide, January 2026 labor force data are NOT strictly comparable with the 2025 or any prior year data. Revised data for years prior to 2026 should be released in time for the February or March 2026 estimates. At that time, comparison of data across years prior to 2026 will be available and previous years links will be active.
