+'s and -'s
The really good jobs are tough to come by friend. I left due to my spouse taking a 40+ percent pay cut for the same job as in the midwest. Housing prices in the economic development areas are skewed quite high as opposed the the state averages - easy and still attractive to get into, but VERY HARD to get out of...
However, the "winters" in the lower 2/3 of the state are a blessing - compared to the midwest. A scattering of cold fronts and a dusting of snow periodically, nice, REALLY NICE!
Let me tell you what you will get in Mississippi: Pine trees, Good down to earth people, and the best deep- fried anything you've ever eaten- the breading is to die for. If you come south - just enjoy the southern hospitality and the culture. I've never regetted it and never will.

I've heard that the time to make money, as far as the construction and trades industries were during the mid 90's when the casinos were being built and the year right after Katrina. Other factors aside, things have slowed on the coast. That's not only my perspective, but other people's as well.

My company has had so much work on the coast that we opened up an office down there to keep up with all the work. I would say that MS coast development is far from being slow, especially compared to the rest of the nation during these hard economic times. |

Oh there are a lot of things being rebuilt on the coast & will continue to do so until it is at least at prekatrina levels, if not more...if anything, maybe condo developments may have slowed, but other building/rebuilding hasn't slowed

Over the past year, I have worked on projects in Pass Christian, Long Beach, Moss Point, Hancock County, and D'Iberville - schools, fire stations, city halls, etc. You can't tell me there's no work going on down there.
