Louisiana Ranked #2 in South for Economic Development

Louisiana was ranked #2 in the South for the strongest economic development results in 2017 by Southern Business & Development magazine, based on the state’s share of capital investment and job creation projects. The magazine tracked the most significant capital investment and job creation projects across the South, and awarded points for large employment projects and large capital investment projects in 2017. DXC Technology’s 2,000-job center in New Orleans, announced last fall, was specifically cited among the publication’s top job-creating projects. Six other Louisiana projects, all LNG or petrochemical facilities, landed in the top 20 for highest capital investment projects.
