Mississippi literally ranks last in everything.
Mostly to do with population. Mississippi has some good private companies and has Sanderson Farms which could be a Fortune 500 lister. MS is a large manufacturer in the auto and aerospace industries, it's also one of the biggest shipbuilding states for the Navy. There are also lots of smaller companies based here with worldwide presence.

Peavey Electronics in Meridian is one of those private companies that you mentioned.
They have produced music electronics, guitars, speakers, mixers etc. for groups and companies all over the world for 50+ years.
To cite one example, they provided all the sound equipment for the Beijing Olympics back in 2008.
So while MS gets pooped on quite a bit , we are actually much better off than people realize. Maybe no Fortune 500 companies but many successful homegrown businesses that are doing well.
