Louisiana Workforce Characteristics by Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) - 2023

The data used is from the most recent US Census 2022 American Community Survey (ACS) tables.

The U.S. Census no longer provides occupational breakdowns by race and sex at the parish level.
Going forward, from 2019, only limited estimates at the sub state level (RLMA, MSA, and parish levels) is available.

NOTE: Starting with MSA reports for 2025 and after, there is a new MSA (Slidell) and some MSA parishes have been added or removed.
