Hattiesburg metro area unemployment rate approaching pre-pandemic level Hattiesburg area unemployment rate approaching pre-pandemic level By Caroline Wood | March 1, 2021 at 9:53 PM CST - Updated March 1 at 10:11 PM HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - It’s been 11 months since unemployment rates skyrocketed in the Hattiesburg Metropolitan Statistical Area. Now, officials say the latest numbers reveal the unemployment rate sits closer to the rate it was prior to COVID-19. “What is most exciting is that we ended out 2020 with an unemployment rate that is down back to around 5.2%,” said Todd Jackson, executive vice president of the Hattiesburg Area Development Partnership. Though it’s not as low as the 4.2% rate the area saw pre-pandemic, it’s better than it was in April of 2020.
