What information led to the selection of this health issue and related result?

From CHA data collected, most residents disagreed that there was plenty of economic opportunity in Jones County. Meaningful employment ensures that residents have a reliable income. While there is not a lot of economic opportunity, the LCC Jones County Campus does offer workforce development programs and job skills training. This program seeks to develop the workforce by providing marketable skills in local industries. JCHD is keeping this priority on our radar, and will collaborate with LCC to raise awareness about career development opportunities.
