Louisiana and Mississippi are home to a number of industries with considerable job growth potential related to the adoption of new technologies and business practices aimed at protecting and restoring the environment or conserving natural resources.

To understand and develop these new and emerging high-growth industries, the two states have created the Louisiana and Mississippi Green Jobs Consortium. Funded through a $2.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, efforts will include extensive research on the regional green economy, development of workforce solutions and economic development strategies necessary for future job growth.

If your organization is involved in any green economic activity category, your input is valuable.  Please take a moment to complete one or more online questionnaires below.  If you are an employer involved in a green activity, encourage your human resource manager to complete the Human Resource Professionals questionnaire.

Feel free to contact the research team at 225-578-3797 or LA.MS.GreenJobs@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to speak with a researcher.
