The Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) of Mississippi, a governmental defined benefit pension plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, is the retirement system for nearly all non-federal public employees in the state. From the Gulf of Mexico to the Tennessee border, from the Alabama line to the Mississippi River, PERS serves employees of the state, public school districts, municipalities, counties, community colleges, state universities and such other public entities as libraries and water districts. Membership in PERS is a benefit accorded to eligible public employees of member agencies, and is financed by contributions made by the employees and their employers and the earnings on these contributions. PERS was established by the Mississippi Legislature in 1952 to provide benefits to retirees, as well as future benefits to current and former public employees. In addition to regular service retirement benefits available to vested members at age 60 and to members with 25 years of service credit at any age, PERS provides disability and survivor protection. Additional programs administered by PERS for the benefit of its members and the state include the Supplemental Legislative Retirement Plan (SLRP), the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol Retirement System (MHSPRS), the Institutions of Higher Learning Optional Retirement Plan (ORP), Fire and Police Disability and Relief Funds and General Municipal Retirement Systems (MUNI) for employees of 17 cities, the Mississippi Government Employees' Deferred Compensation Plan, and the PERS Retiree Insurance Program.

The Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana was officially recognized by the Federal government in 1973 and marked a major turning point in tribal history in 1985 with the election bypopular vote of the first Coushatta tribal government. The Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana owns roughly 6,000 acres of land, which is used for Coushatta-constructed tribal housing, rice and crawfish farming and development of a new cattle-raising program. In addition the Tribe owns and operates Coushatta Casino Resort, which employs more than 2,700 area residents. The Tribe has a long history of successful economic development initiatives. In 1965 Coushatta Tribe members organized Coushatta Indians of Allen Parish, Inc. and established a local trading post to sell Coushatta pine needle baskets. In 2008, the Coushatta Tribal Council established an Economic Advisory Board, made up of Tribe members, to advise the Tribal Council on economic diversification efforts and ensure a broad spectrum of Tribe member opinions would be heard. Coushatta Global Enterprises LLC was formed in 2011 to become the exclusive importer of the Aya Natural products, and the new company provides branded sale of the products through a specially designed kiosk in the Coushatta Casino Resort Gift Shop, through an e-commerce website and through sales and distribution relationships with other Tribes around the country.
