STATE BUDGET - FISCAL YEAR 2014-2015

Over the last few fiscal years, Louisiana non-farm employment has been steadily rising, in tune with national economic activity. After falling in fiscal year FY2009-2010 by about 2%, non-farm employment had a very modest recovery in fiscal year FY2010-2011. FY2011-2012 showed a better improvement of 1.2%, while in fiscal years FY2012-2013 and FY2013-2014 small recoveries are expected (1.2% respectively in each FY). Louisiana nominal wages grew modestly (mostly, because of the effects of the crisis at the time) by 1.1% in FY2009- 2010 and recovered 3.7% and 2.9% in FY2010-2011 and FY2011-2012, respectively. The projection for FY2012- 2013 and FY2013-2014 is a growth in nominal wages of 2.1% and 6.1%.
