By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor Good morning, Acadiana, and thanks for checking in with us. Let's get started with the business news you came here looking for this morning. We have a report on how construction jobs in Louisiana are surging but the employment totals are still lagging behind levels seen before the COVID-19 pandemic struck more than two years ago. Growth has been big in Lake Charles at 24%, but Acadiana growth was at 5%, second-lowest among the state's metros. Have a good day and see you back here Friday morning. |
