How to Submit a Public Records Request to the Louisiana Workforce Commission

The Louisiana Workforce Commission’s vision is to make Louisiana the best place in the country to get a job or grow a business, and our goal is to be the country's best workforce agency.

Our mission is simple and straightforward – we put people to work.

Restructured in 2008, our core values include:

• Integrity and respect: We treat each other with respect; our actions and our words are considerate, honest and ethical; we do what we say we will do.
• Open communication: We seek first to understand--we listen, we give and receive meaningful feedback, we value different opinions and perspectives.
• Accountability: We work on the right things, we hold each other accountable, we follow the rules and we use LWC resources wisely.
• Teamwork: We all work as part of the larger LWC team, we collaborate across boundaries, we agree on and work toward common goals.
• Continuous improvement: We set high standards and goals using external benchmarks, we are data-driven and self-critical, we analyze and improve our processes.
• Adaptability: We welcome and adapt to change, we respond quickly to customer needs, and economic challenges inspire new ways of doing business.

Today, the LWC is ideally positioned and structured to support and serve Louisiana’s employers, job seekers and workforce partners.
