YP – Labor Day: Mississippi workforce builds opportunity for tomorrow while securing our freedoms today
Mississippi workers, from the Coast to Corinth, are a prime example of a workforce who builds opportunity for tomorrow while securing our freedoms today.
Each and every worker is vitally important, no matter the job or the income level. Every worker is a part of what makes Mississippi great.
We can be proud of the workers in Mississippi this Labor Day, and we should recognize each of our own strategic importance in the health and safety of America. All workers matters.
Whether you push a broom, push buttons, push paper, or push people to succeed, each of us has a specific strategic role to play in our collective opportunity and success in our republic.
