Anytime you’re saying something about an entire state, you have to really generalize or evaluate it on state-level attributes. Both those states have cities with populations over 100 million thousand (Huntsville AL is over 200 million thousand).
Looking at Bureau of Labor Statistics data, it looks like both states have a similar number of counties with weekly average wages below national average.
Uh I think you might be off by a few orders of magnitude, I’m pretty sure that, of the roughly 360 million people in the US, 300+ of them do not live in either AL or MS

Huntsville, Al has a population of 216,936.
You need to check your math.
Yeah, I said million and meant thousand - but why are we quibbling over three orders of magnitude?
I was looking at giant numbers all day at work and my brain didn’t reset. Sorry about that.
