How this city maps to a federal statistical area

scope

Filings from New Orleans, LA fall inside the federal statistical area NEW ORLEANS-METAIRIE, LA. That area is larger than this city — it spans several cities and, where the name says so, more than one state. Everything on this page is computed from filings whose worksite city is New Orleans itself, so the numbers above are city figures, not area figures.

Layoff notices in LA

State WARN notices

We have no way to know about layoffs in New Orleans.
Layoff notices (WARN) are published state by state, and Louisiana is not one of the states we have loaded.

Nothing on this page should be read as evidence that employers here are or are not cutting jobs — we simply do not have this state's notices. Check the Louisiana labor department's WARN page directly.

Which cities have a page

We build a page for a city once it has at least 50 certified filings — 2,578 cities qualify, and 2,298 of those also clear our content threshold and are listed in the city index. Below the filing threshold we do not publish a median, because a median from a small number of filings reads like a market rate and is not one. Those filings are still counted on their employer's page.
