Data contained in this publication are also relevant in evaluating changes to the state’s economy during the period 2013-2014 and will assist local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) in making informed decisions regarding the economies of their areas. The latest available annual averages for 2013 and 2014 were used in analyzing civilian labor force, occupational wages, employment by industry, and unemployment insurance compensation claims. State and regional data include the industry and occupational short-term outlook through 2016 and long-term outlook through 2022 that represent the jobs required for the future. The state of Louisiana’s engineering sector has been highlighted as part of this publication. The current publication is in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file and can be downloaded from the Louisiana Workforce Commission’s Web site at www. LAWORKS.net.

Sincerely, Curt Eysink Executive Director Louisiana Workforce Commission Louisiana Workforce Information Review 2015 3 Executive Summary The economic situation in Louisiana is among the most promising in the nation. While the national economy is slowly recovering from the recession, Louisiana remains a beacon of employment growth. Louisiana not only regained the jobs lost from the recession, but also had the highest labor force growth rate in the country in 2014. Our economic development has historically relied on natural resource extraction and processing and with the low cost of land and favorable wage rates to attract manufacturing plants. Our large oil and gas extraction and refining industries have provided insulation from the economic hardships faced by the rest of the country. While these areas continue to be a substantial portion of the state’s economy, Louisiana has focused economic development efforts on bringing in additional capacity for extraction and processing, attracting new manufacturing plants, as well as new professional and technical employers. These efforts diversify the labor market and add high-wage and skilled workers to the economy. The civilian labor force in Louisiana grew at the highest rate of any state in 2014 as more people in Louisiana seek employment. In April 2015, it reached a seasonally adjusted record level of 2,210,646 participants. The latest seasonally adjusted nonfarm employment data showed that the state reached 1,985,200 individuals employed in April 2015, a growth of 13,100 over the same period a year prior and 87,500 since the recession ended in June 2009. The growth was driven by the private sector adding 18,200 jobs over the year. Our 2022 employment projections show the trend will continue for years to come as we project that employment will reach 2,262,767 by 2022, an 11.6 percent growth. Our unemployment rate was 6.6 percent in April 2015 when seasonality is factored in. Louisiana’s labor force participation rate, the percentage of Louisiana’s population either working or seeking employment, increased from 59.6 percent to 61.8 percent during 2014. 4 Our 2022 projections indicate that the professional, scientific, and technical services industry will experience the fastest job growth in the coming years with an estimated 19,614 jobs that are expected to be created in the next 7 years. This industry typically employs highly skilled individuals in business and information technology occupations. Significant job growth is also expected in the transportation and warehousing industry (14.4 percent), construction industry (12.9 percent), and mining industry (13.9 percent). These projections suggest a growing need for training and workforce development efforts that focus on new, high-skill jobs.

Meanwhile, nondurable-goods manufacturing surged 2.7 percent for the same period. 25 Louisiana Focus on Engineering Skilled workers in engineering and related occupations are vital to Louisiana’s economy because Louisiana’s economy is heavily invested in industries that require engineering expertise, such as natural resource extraction and manufacturing. In the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, architectural and engineering occupations have three sub-categories. The first is architects, surveyors, and cartographers, which are highwage occupations but are relatively low in employment in Louisiana compared to the other two categories. The second is engineers, which are highly sought after by employers and among the highest-paying occupations in the state. Finally, drafters, engineering technicians, and mapping technicians are specialized occupations that require less education than the first two sub-categories but have high wages for their required education level. The Occupational Employment Statistics and Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, both produced by teams at the Louisiana Workforce Commission, provide a solid foundation for understanding engineering in terms of occupations and industries, respectively. LWC’s occupational projections and job openings data can provide a better understanding of Louisiana employers’ current demand for engineering occupations, while Louisiana Board of Regents’ graduation data and LWC’s unemployment insurance claims data gives some insight into the supply of workers in these occupations in the state. Engineering Highlights 3rd highest paying occupation category in Louisiana in 2014 16,872 jobs added in professional and technical services since 2004 180 annual openings for civil engineers according to 2022 Occupational Projections 479 job openings for electrical and electronic engineering technicians posted in 2014 7th fewest unemployment insurance continued claims out of all occupation groups in May 2014 508 instrumentation technology degrees awarded in 2014 alone 26 Louisiana Focus on Engineering Occupational Employment Statistics: According to the latest available 2014 OES figures, there are 31 engineering occupations that have published employment levels in Louisiana. Civil engineers constitute the highest engineering employment in the state, with 3,850 employees, while mechanical, chemical, industrial, and other (a collection of engineering occupations without their own SOC category) engineers all had more than two thousand employees in the state. Civil engineering technicians and electrical and electronics engineering technicians were the top two engineering technician occupations by employment. All of these occupations have high annual salaries relative to most other occupations, which is not surprising considering that architectural and engineering occupations have the third highest average salaries of any occupation group at $80,316 (see the Louisiana Occupational Employment Statistics page for more information).

The above chart shows the number of job postings Louisiana employers made in 2014 for the most popular architecture and engineering occupations. These counts provide supporting evidence behind the demand for additional engineers and engineering technicians. However, they should not be considered good estimates of the total demand for these workers in the state since employers have no requirement to post job openings online and not all employers choose to do so. Furthermore, employers may create more than one posting for a single position, so the working in this industry generally work for architecture firms or engineering firms that perform actual number of job openings could be higher or lower than the number of online job postings. contractual work for clients. The other four industries contain employees in the engineering occupations that work directly for the company needing the architectural or engineering work. Professional and technical services employment in Louisiana has increased by 16,872 over this time, a growth rate of 22.2 percent. Petroleum and coal products manufacturing has risen by 2450 jobs, a 25.1 percent increase. The other three industries have shown modest growth.

Louisiana Workforce Information Review 2015 29 Louisiana Focus on Engineering Occupational Projections: LWC publishes projections for employment by occupation on an annual basis. This chart shows the projected number of annual openings for engineering occupations from 2012 to 2022. This is a similar measure as the job openings data, but one that anticipates future demand for engineering workers rather than reports based on past demand. Out of the three main groups of engineering occupations, the projected annual openings are dominated by engineers, and especially by civil, mechanical, and petroleum engineers. This is a strong indication that Louisiana will have hundreds of openings every year in these high-paying occupations, but applicants will need at least a bachelor’s degree to qualify for these positions. The projections do indicate a sizable demand for technician occupations such as electrical and electronics engineering technicians, surveying and mapping technicians, and civil engineering technicians. Filling these occupations is a challenge not only for the employers but also for Louisiana if the state wants to continue to attract these employers. 30 Occupational Projections: LWC publishes projections for employment by occupation on an annual basis.

Louisiana Focus on Engineering Unemployment Insurance Claimants: Claims for engineering occupations have decreased significantly over the past three years, mirroring the decrease in total unemployment insurance claims. Engineering occupations claims have stabilized to about 200 in the entire state in a given week, which is the seventh-lowest level for any occupation cluster as of May 2014. Many of the clusters that have fewer continued claims are occupations not usually covered by unemployment insurance, such as farming, fishing, and forestry occupations and militaryspecific occupations. Unemployment insurance claimants who previously worked in an engineering occupation are a potential source for employers to fill their engineering occupation vacancies with skilled and experienced workers. However, with fewer unemployment insurance claimants, employers will need to turn to new engineering graduates to fill their open positions. Public Educational Institution Completers: The Louisiana Board of Regents releases annual data on the numberInsurance of people who complete eachfeducational program at one hofave thedpublic Unemployment Claimants: Claims or engineering occupations ecreased universities or community colleges in Louisiana.

While these counts serve as a good measure of how well Louisiana’s education system is providing the skills needed to fill engineering vacancies, there are some important caveats. 30 Louisiana Workforce Information Review 2015 Louisiana Focus on Engineering Employers can find new graduates for their positions from private colleges and universities or by recruiting out-of-state, so the supply of potential employees is larger than just these graduates. Alternatively, graduates from Louisiana’s engineering programs may find employment outside of the state. Engineers and engineering technicians are important occupations for Louisiana, not only because they are in high demand by employers, but also because they provide high-paying jobs relative to other occupations with the same required level of education. LWC’s data show that engineering occupations have a bright future in the state, provided that employers have a steady supply of skilled workers to add to their payrolls and replace retiring workers. While these employers can and do recruit out of state, doing so requires them to outbid employers in other states and drives the wages of these occupations up even more. LWC’s workforce development efforts that partner with public and private educational institutions in the state will help to increase the number of skilled workers available to work in the engineering occupations, which will allow employers to provide well-paying middle class jobs and accomplish our mission of putting people to work. 32 New Orleans RLMA Occupational Wages And Projections (2022) 607,399 RLMA 1 Parishes Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John The Baptist, St. Tammany Number of people participating in the Civilian Labor Force in April 2015 564,100 $2,429 $1,721 Nonfarm Employment in the MSA during April 2015 Highest average weekly wages in New Orleans were Mining and Professional and Technical Services 7.2% -47.8% Increase in employment for Professional and Technical Services industry since 2012 Louisiana Workforce Information Review 2015 Decrease in UI Claims for Sales and Related Occupations since 2013 33 New Orleans RLMA Civilian Labor Force Statistics CIVILIAN LABOR FORCE STATISTICS The New Orleans RLMA’s unemployment rate has improved since peaking at 7.4 percent in August 2014.an The unemployment was 6.0 percent inrate April 2015 The New Orleans RLMA has shown improvement inrate its unemployment since and 5.0 percent in April 2014.
