Continuing a trend of more than a year, Louisiana’s construction sector increased its jobs by 3,200 to a total of 136,000 by the end of February. Scott said $60 billion in ongoing big industrial projects require construction workers well beyond this year.

The real question is how many jobs in the movie/TV industry were added...

Say what you want about Jindal and LSU, but he has been a STELLAR economic governor. This is very healthy and good growth for the state, and we have been beating the national average for a few years now.
