Baker Jobs

Baker is a city in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana as part of the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Area. The population was 13,793 at the 2000 census. Less affluent than neighboring Zachary, Louisiana , Baker's population is nevertheless expected to grow dramatically as a result of an influx of former New Orleans residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina. However, the U.S. Census Bureau released a population count for East Baton Rouge Parish, done in July 2006 but released in Mach 2007 which includes Zachary, Louisiana and Baker and found that only 19,264 displaced citizens remain in East Baton Rouge Parish which dismisses all claims about Baker growing "dramatically" with only a small portion of displaced citizens remaining and many still consider themselves "Temporary" as they wait for federal recovery cash to return to their homes in the New Orleans metropolitan area or other Gulf South regions.
