Could The Sturgis Rallly Help The Mississippi Unemployment Rate?

I don't know about you but i'd find it odd if someone mentioned that the Mississippi Unemployment rate could be affected by the Sturgis Rally being held in South Dakota in early August. But when you think about it, the Sturgis bike week is the perfect boost for the Mississippi economy although very short. Figure this, how many bikers are passing through or leaving Mississippi on their way up north to South Dakota. Better yet, these bikers are carrying cash just waiting to be spent on food, gas, and anything else the State of Mississippi might offer. Because of the additional demand Mississippi employers will need additional employees to cover the shifts at the gas stations and restaurants and other establishments that serve bikers passing through Mississippi. So while the Mississippi unemployment rate remains sky high short term reductions by things like the Sturgis 2011 Rally can help those out on unemployment benefits however short it may be.
