This report provided data on Mississippi’s economic position in the United States. The tables included in the report were Total Personal Income; Per Capita Personal Income; Per Capita Income: The U.S. and Mississippi Compared; Per Capita Income: The Southeast and Mississippi Compared; Per Capita Income Increase, 1967-1974; A Comparison of Sources of Personal Income by Industry, 1974; and A Comparison of Sources of Personal Income by Type, 1974. In general, Mississippi had lost ground to the Southeast and the U.S. in per capita income since 1967. The PEER Committee recommended that a new effective course of action be implemented, since previous action had been fragmented, competitive, and disorganized.
