Lafayette/Acadiana Top Employers

Lafayette Parish is the economic center of the eight–parish area known as Acadiana. Lafayette businesses are able to take advantage of a larger market of consumers as well as the number of  qualified workers available for employment.

Listed below are the largest employing companies that are located within Lafayette Parish. These employment numberes were reported to LEDA by each organization as part of an annual survey of Top Employers in late 2010.

LEDA continues to applaud the efforts of such companies, as they strengthen our economy and supply employment opportunities to the people of Acadiana.
