LA’s Unemployment Drops to 4.8 Percent
Regarding the drop in unemployment to 4.8, Governor said, “The best social program out there is a good job, and more and more people in Louisiana are finding work. […] Just look at the historic economic development project we announced in New Orleans this week. Two thousand good-paying jobs are on the horizon. We are not out of the woods yet, and we have a lot of work left to do, but for the sixth consecutive month, we are seeing strong signs of improvement for Louisiana’s economy. I have said before that Louisiana’s brightest days are ahead of us, and these unemployment figures are further evidence of that."
