Mississippi's Data
Mississippi is a state in the Deep South, named after the Mississippi River which forms its western border. It was admitted in 1817 as the 20th state. The capital and largest city is Jackson. Mississippi’s land area is about 46,923 sq mi, and its population is ~2.94 million (2024). It has a long coastline along the Gulf of Mexico. Historically one of the poorest states, Mississippi has a large African American population and was a centerpiece of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Mississippi’s economy has traditionally been based on agriculture (cotton was king in the 19th century). Today, agriculture (poultry, soybeans, cotton) and forestry remain important, and the state has some manufacturing (automotive plants) and growing casino tourism along the Gulf Coast and Mississippi River. It consistently ranks low in many economic indicators; its GDP (about $156 billion in 2024) is among the smallest of states. Culturally, Mississippi has had an outsized influence on American music – it’s recognized as the “Birthplace of the Blues” (musicians like B.B. King) and has deep roots in gospel and country music. It’s also known for its southern literature (authors like William Faulkner) and cuisine (catfish, barbecued pork, and tamales in the Delta).

Understanding the BLS and Inflation in Mississippi
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is a government agency that collects and analyzes economic data across the U.S., including states like Mississippi. One of its key responsibilities is tracking inflation through the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures how the cost of everyday goods and services changes over time. Inflation can impact everything from housing prices to the cost of groceries, gas, and utilities across the area. By tracking inflation, the BLS helps people from Mississippi understand how their purchasing power is affected and provides insights for businesses and policymakers.
What This Graph Represents
This graph shows inflation trends in Mississippi using the CPI, highlighting how prices have changed over time. The x-axis represents time (months and years), while the y-axis represents price levels. If the graph moves upward, it means the cost of living is rising, which can affect everything from rent to gas prices. A flatter or downward trend suggests that inflation is stabilizing or decreasing. Keeping an eye on inflation is important for people from Mississippi when budgeting for housing, wages, and daily expenses.
