Economic Impact Analysis of COVID-19

With the exception of hospitality/tourism, whose impact was dramatic, the report estimated the job losses for the other three sectors would be limited, with many manufacturers having experienced little or no disruption.

Harrison County Development Commission Executive Director Bill Lavers says, “The minimal impact of COVID-19 on manufacturing and the military is a testament to the resilience of our economy.” He adds, “Likewise, there’s every indication of a quick comeback for tourism as travelers reluctant to fly could favor drive-in market destinations, like ours. What an amazing opportunity to introduce the Mississippi Gulf Coast to first-time visitors.”
