If you’re a bus or truck mechanic looking for work in Baton Rouge, you’re in luck. Wanted Technologies, a Quebec-based firm, says out of scores of professions, there’s a bigger imbalance between the supply of mechanics and the demand locally. Other in-demand careers include customer service representatives and business operations specialists. On the other hand, if you’re a computer system analyst in Baton Rouge, things aren’t so good for you. Wanted says the local supply of computer systems analysts far outstrips the demand for workers. Personal and home care aids are similarly overstocked, along with food preparation managers. Wanted says it bases its findings on job ads posted online, compared with the number of people in that city who fall under the occupation, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics figures.
