States must report to the federal government how many people receive services and finish receiving services, or "exit", through the labor exchange program established by the Wagner Peyser Act of 1933. In this program, Mississippi performs better than the national average but worse compared to its neighbors. While Mississippi serves one of the highest populations through the program compared to surrounding states, it has the lowest success rate. Fewer than 30,000 of 99,405 people who finish the program were still employed within a year.
