“My Administration has created over 70,000 new job opportunities in Louisiana since I took office. Wages are on the rise, and our economic outlook has never looked better. This is how we move people from dependence to independence.

An executive order states that the prices for goods and services sold may not exceed the prices usually charged for comparable goods and services before the state of emergency. The order is in effect from Friday, Oct. 24, through Tuesday, Nov. 4, unless it is changed or terminated.
