JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI
Strategy and operations consulting in Jackson.
Mississippi's capital and largest metro, combining state government, the state's academic medical center, regional banks and utilities, and a Nissan assembly plant in nearby Canton.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Jackson.
State government and the University of Mississippi Medical Center are the largest employers, and the metro is the state's center for banking, law, engineering and health care services. Trustmark and Entergy Mississippi are headquartered in Jackson, the egg producer Cal-Maine Foods is based in Ridgeland, and Nissan builds vehicles at its Canton plant in Madison County. Growth has shifted toward the suburbs of Madison and Rankin counties, while the City of Jackson's water system came under federal oversight after its 2022 failure.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Jackson management teams.
Business growth has shifted to Madison and Rankin counties, which changes where workers live, how far they commute and where companies choose to locate. Hospitals and clinics carry a heavy uncompensated care load, which pressures margins. Lower labour costs help, but recruiting specialized professionals to the area can be difficult.
