Louisiana wages went up from early 2021, but inflation made the increase nonexistent
The average weekly wage for Louisiana workers rose 8.6% from the first quarter of 2021 through the first quarter of 2022, according to newly released data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, but workers also experienced one of the worst 12-month periods for inflation over that same span.
Louisiana was tied for the 16th highest rate of U.S. states and significantly higher than the U.S. average of 6.7%, but due to inflation, Louisianans weren’t bringing home any extra cash.
Over that same period, from March 2021 to March 2022, consumer prices rose 8.5%, which was the largest increase over a 12-month period the nation had seen since December 1981. The 12-month inflation rate would increase to 8.6% and 9.1% in May and June, respectively.

JACKSON: Hospital "Grossly Misinterpreted" Louisiana Law
After a Baton Rouge woman was denied an abortion for a fetus without a skull, state Sen. Katrina Jackson and 35 other lawmakers said the hospital “grossly misinterpreted” the state’s exceptions to the abortion ban in a statement released Tuesday afternoon.
“We are issuing this statement today to provide further clarity, although the law in conjunction with the emergency rule is very clear that this young lady is within the exception,” the statement read.

LSU Mounds Identified as Oldest Man-Made Structures in North America

AG Jeff Landry: Protecting Louisiana Horse Racing!
Jeff Landry is champion of Louisiana values. From his support of important bayou state industries like Oil & Gas to his love of Mardi gras, our Attorney General is committed to preserving our Louisiana way of life.
That’s why when Joe Biden swooped in and tried to regulate a Louisiana tradition like Horse Racing, Jeff Landry was quick to challenge him in court.
Just like he has throughout the entire Biden reign, Jeff took down another win against the Fed’s liberal overreach. He won a quick decision in court and a judge halted Biden’s new restrictive laws on the Louisiana Horse Racing Industry.
Landry explained the battle here:
"I am grateful Judge Doughty applied the law and blocked this federal overreach from devastating our state and the thousands of Louisianans in the horse industry here. Louisiana has not only regulated horseracing but also built an entire culture around it with the owners, trainers, jockeys, racetracks and patrons. ... The process of creating the law and its associated regulations showed a reckless disregard for the thousands of industry participants in Louisiana and a correspondingly reckless disregard for the impact to our state." - AG Jeff Landry
Like a thoroughbred storming out the gate, Jeff Landry is quick to defend our way of life and values. He is a true champion of Louisiana and we are proud to have him leading in Baton Rouge!

LAWSUIT ABUSE IS NOT A SOLUTION FOR LOUISIANA’S COAST
Photo source: Twitter
In Louisiana, we have a knack for running job creators off to our neighboring states. One of the clearest examples of pushing businesses is out of Louisiana is the slew of frivolous lawsuits levied against oil and gas companies that have caused countless jobs and opportunities to leave our state. A 2019 study found that two years after the lawsuits were first launched, 2,000 jobs were lost directly attributable to the impact of the litigation risk. Proponents of the lawsuits claim the lawsuits will help bring resources to rebuild Louisiana’s coastline. In reality, these lawsuits and the proposed Freeport-McMoRan settlement currently on the table stifle job creation while doing little to nothing for the coast.
