General Economic Development Information

As of early 2009, Louisiana's economy is faring better than in most other parts of the country. Though the immediate future is uncertain in the face of worldwide recession, the long-term prospects remain bright. New major natural gas discoveries in Northwest Louisiana will contribute to the state's economic growth, and, when petroleum prices recover, Louisiana will benefit from its long-term leadership in activities related to exploration and production. As the state continues to rebound from effects of hurricanes, emphasis remains on economic diversification and on fostering business development.

Louisiana workers have a proven record of productivity and dependability in industries as diverse and demanding as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, and petrochemicals.  The state is committed to providing educational opportunities to match workforce needs.
