Pennington shares ZIP code 36916 with the surrounding area, where 26 employer businesses were counted in 2023.

Across Choctaw County, County Business Patterns counted 243 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 779 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Choctaw County has 2.8 times the national share of religious, civic and membership organizations: 25 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, so the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Trucking companies are also overrepresented (15, three times the national share).
