Summary
Louisiana’s job market is rebounding with nearly 19,300 new jobs added in the past year, but June showed mixed signals—unemployment dipped to 4.4% while total jobs fell slightly. Construction led the charge with 2,000 new hires, and year-over-year gains were strongest in construction, professional services, and manufacturing. Meanwhile, leisure and hospitality lost over 1,600 jobs, and other services also declined. Still, Baton Rouge and Slidell hit record employment highs, highlighting regional resilience amid statewide fluctuations.
