Roughly one in 10 people in this city were unemployed in 2019, even though they actively sought work. Since income levels are very low, those who have jobs still struggle to make it. Poverty is quite severe in Gulfport, and that’s no surprise since Mississippi is dubbed the hungriest city in the US.
