Is Mississippi really that bad? The economy is indeed very bad somewhere like the UK.

I was born in Oklahoma. There is a phrase there.

"Thank God for Mississippi!"

Otherwise Oklahoma would be last in basically every single metric used to compare states. It was more true then than now. Mississippi made major changes to their education system and it has been paying off. I'm not to familiar with how they are doing on other metrics.
