Quoting myself as I pulled up the census info. Under 18 and over 65 makes up 35% of the population. That leaves 2.9 Million working age adults. So roughly a third don't work.
Now how many of those are stay at home moms?

Yes, but not all of those are welfare queens. That includes college students, house wives, people who retired early, the seasonally unemployed, and construction labor temporarily between jobs.

The level of expertise required to be a competent plumber or electrician is higher than many think.
All jobs have value, and we need to start
teaching our young people that lesson.

Whatever Louisiana is doing to attract and encourage business investment.....it's working.
I wish that the state had made the right moves 25 years ago.

I know. I didn't say that. I just said 1/3 of working age adults don't work. An interesting number. I'd have thought more people worked.

Oil and gas industry has a large role in this.
Once the rest of the country realizes this, they will remove every politician from office that opposes oil and gas exploration.
