Louisiana’s Not Working
We keep seeing news of Louisiana’s job gains, but the numbers seem to tell a different story. It’s certainly true that we’re landing projects, but the question of overall job growth never seems to be addressed directly. This is either good PR or bad policy analysis, because as it turns out: Louisiana’s Not Working.

- We were one of just four states to lose jobs.
- Our neighbors are growing rapidly.
