All automotive facilities and especially Toyota create a huge halo effect. Suppliers are building their operations near by to save on transportation cost. Also, Toyota does not store parts on premises, they must arrive in time for production. That means that suppliers will have to provide them and most likely build them just in time for production right there in the vicinity of assembly line. Those suppliers are all from US and all the labor is from US. 2000 permanent jobs probably translate into another 500-1000 temps (who could not pass exams to get full time job, but physically strong). All states are vying for new production facilities and would provide tax break to any company. Domestic mismanaged into its grave auto industry is not in the expanding mode: you will read more about closing factories in days ahead just like we read every day in the past.

Plus, we all know the 2000 or so direct jobs is just the tip of the iceberg. The trickle down theory should increase business for hotels, restaurants, housing and so on.

Also, that portion of the state (Tupelo and the University) is a very pretty part of the state, has good access, and can really use the jobs. Don't go slagging off Mississippi if you have not lived there.
