The 2011 Super Outbreak is regarded as the deadliest tornado outbreak in recorded history. The outbreak wrecked havoc from April 25 to the 28th throughout Southern United States killing over 330 people and over $10 billion in material damages. Add to this that we have just been through a financial crisis we have not witnessed since the Great Depression and you can see why many Mississippians may feel it hasn’t been the best year. The situation is especially dire for workers who have lost their jobs or are no longer able to do business because of natural or economic disasters.
The State of Mississippi has taken measures to fight both problems, the material and employment issues, through a statewide Temporary Recovery Workforce Jobs program. The program is designed to assist unemployed and underemployed workers find employment and help with the recovery efforts.

The program targets self-employed and employees who lost their job directly because of the storms, those who have recently been laid off and those who are long-term unemployed workers. Notice priority is given to workers who have been affected directly by the storms.
