One of the largest sectors of Jones County’s economy is manufacturing, just as manufacturing is one of the larger sectors of our state’s economy. Manufacturing in Mississippi accounts for 16.18 percent of total output and employs 12.54 percent (145,000) of our state’s workforce.
Dr. Doug Tillery
There are 1,887 manufacturing firms in Mississippi and they exported $11.06 billion in goods in 2018. The top five markets are Canada, Mexico, Panama, China and Japan.
