Connecting Data
to Power Mississippi

Mississippi’s Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) is a powerful tool for conducting high-quality research to inform policymaking and advance our understanding of complex economic and workforce development processes. The SLDS comprises data contributors across a spectrum of state agencies, including workforce and economic development, education, and human services. Policymakers and state leaders can use this comprehensive information to make informed decisions about improving the lives of Mississippians.
