Jindal cut state employee numbers from somewhere near 90k to near 60k in his tenure

Yes and no.

When he privatized the charity hospitals, the employees of those hospitals became "private sector" employees, as well. They still are paid through DHH, so the amount that the state pays to them is pretty much the same. Another misleading Jindal budget shell game.
