Key Finding
Mississippi contractors bill $5/hr below the national median
Mississippi has the lowest median contractor bill rates in our dataset. However, Gulf Coast restoration work and military base maintenance near Biloxi and Columbus create pockets of premium pricing for specialized contractors.
For a 10-tech shop, that $5/hr difference means $100K per year in lost revenue compared to the national median.
