Parish Labor Market Data

The following labor market figures for each of the 5 parishes in SWLA come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC).

Household employment figures come from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) from the BLS. The nonfarm and industry employment statistics are from the State and Metro Area Employment, Hours, & Earnings from the BLS. The job openings data comes from the LWC Louisiana Occupational Information System (LOIS).

The latest employment data each month is preliminary. The next month, this is revised and the previous month is revised as more data comes in. Every year, the employment data is subject to benchmark revisions which may cause large changes.

For more information, please contract the Drew CBEA.
