Louisiana Job Outlook

The Louisiana economy is driven by its high level of agricultural production and the export of those goods; the Port of South Louisiana is the largest shipping port in the Western hemisphere and fourth largest in the world. Both the agricultural and shipping sectors have been dealt their fair share of blows over the past several years, first by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. However, the Louisiana economy has proven to be remarkably resilient, in part because of the strength of the state’s tourism industry and high potential for economic growth.

Higher education in Louisiana includes a wide array of public and private colleges, universities, and technical schools. The largest state system is the Louisiana State University System, with the main campus located in Baton Rouge and consisting of around 25,000 undergraduate and graduate students. In terms of enrollment, Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge is the largest higher education provider in the state.

The other public state systems in Louisiana include the Community and Technical College System, the University of Louisiana System, and the Southern University System.

The most prestigious private school in Louisiana is in New Orleans at Tulane University , a nonsectarian and nationally known research center. Numerous other private colleges and universities can be found in the state, many of which are liberal arts institutions. Other private schools include religiously-affiliated seminaries and colleges.
