Mississippi Workers' Compensation
Mississippi is known for its southern charm, abundance of seafood, and it's beautiful scenery and landscape. However, the Magnolia state offers much more, and is known for its many small businesses and corporate headquarters.

Major Mississippi industries include agriculture, manufacturing, mining, fishing, and oil & gas. Sanderson Farms, Yates, Dunlap & Kyle Co, Cal-Maine Foods, and BancorpSouth all have their corporate headquarters located in Mississippi.
Small businesses in Mississippi employ more than 434,800 people. This accounts for 47% of the state’s private workforce, and with 78 fatal workplace injuries in 2018, small businesses need to make sure they have workers’ compensation insurance coverage.
