Is Lafayette shedding its identity as an oil and gas hub? City has been quietly, rapidly, diversifying

by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

Happy Monday, Acadiana businesss news readers. And let's get down to business headlines this morning. 

For years now you have probably heard how oil and gas jobs in Lafayette — once the main employer among sectors in the area — have dwindled while the number of jobs in the health care sector have surged. Take a dive into the numbers with this story: how the number of jobs in natural resources and mining have been cut in half in the last 10 years.

Health care companies are filling that void with jobs. It's an interesting transformation.

You can read the full story here. 

Have a great day.
