Entergy Corp. said it is cutting 800 jobs, 80 of which are in Mississippi. Nearly one-third of the job cuts will be in Louisiana, where the bulk of Entergy employees live. Spokesman Chanel Lagarde said layoffs have begun and should be completed this year. He said Entergy is committed to keeping its headquarters in New Orleans. Lagarde said 240 Louisiana job cuts include about 160 in the New Orleans area. That's about 6 percent of Entergy's metro-area jobs and 5 percent statewide. Louisiana layoffs make up 30 percent of the total. Arkansas would lose about 165 jobs, Texas 115 and New York 110. Most states would lose 4 percent to 6 percent of their Entergy workers; Texas would lose about 10 percent. Massachusetts, Michigan and Vermont about will lose about 30 each
