Who Says That Business as Usual Makes Good Business Sense?
Myth: Our economic development policies work.
From 1983 to 1995, Louisiana's employment growth was less than half of the U.S. average. A study by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that between 1982 and 1995 Louisiana gained 250,000 fewer jobs than it would have if the state's economy had grown at the national pace. Only 20,000 of these missing jobs were linked to oil and gas production. Louisiana lost the remaining 230,000 jobs because our other industries under performed relative to competitors elsewhere in the U.S.
Sales and income tax receipts have increased in the last two years, thanks to a robust national economy. In comparison with other states, however, Louisiana is still at the bottom of the economic barrel.
