Louisiana's rapidly growing software industry employed 11,694 people in 2016 and had a $1.5 billion impact on the state's economy, according to a new report by Software.org.

In Louisiana, employment in the industry has grown nearly 22 percent since 2014, according to "The Growing Trillion-Dollar Impact of Software." The report tracks software's impact on the U.S. economy and describes the industry as "a powerful spark" nationally.

"Software industry employment is growing fastest in some unexpected places. Kansas, Mississippi, Indiana, Idaho and Louisiana led the way in 2016, with direct software employment in Kansas and Indiana growing more than 30 percent," the report says.
