A strong economy starts with good jobs – and for Louisiana, that means more than simply increasing the number of employment opportunities. It means creating high-quality careers, preparing people to succeed in those new roles, and supporting the homegrown businesses that keep our communities thriving. By aiming to help create 100,000 new, non-utility jobs, Entergy Louisiana is investing in the long-term prosperity across the state.
Louisiana has long been known for its strength in energy and petrochemicals, but future growth depends on a more diverse economy. Entergy Louisiana is partnering with state and local leaders to attract advanced manufacturing, technology and clean-energy projects that bring lasting opportunity.
Take the emergence of a growing data-center in north Louisiana that is creating jobs in IT, cybersecurity and facilities management, fields that didn’t exist in the region previously. Entergy’s reliable power and competitive rates have been a key selling point for companies making these investments.
Creating jobs is only half the goal. Ensuring they are good jobs is equally important. Quality positions with benefits give families stability and allow them to build wealth in their communities. From permanent roles at a new chemical manufacturing site in the Capital Region, to IT jobs at a data center in Rayville, and the many other jobs in between, Entergy Louisiana works with partners to bring opportunities that lift the standard of living statewide.
Economic growth isn’t just about recruiting large employers; it’s also about nurturing local entrepreneurs who turn bold ideas into businesses that create jobs and generate paychecks in our communities. Entergy sponsors programs that provide mentorship and funding for local startups tackling issues from clean energy to coastal restoration. These young companies create jobs, attract investment, and build solutions rooted in Louisiana’s unique challenges and opportunities.
Entergy Louisiana’s focus on job creation and entrepreneurship is about more than economics, it’s about people. Every new paycheck supports a family, strengthens a neighborhood and builds confidence in Louisiana’s future.
