NOLA has made a lot of strides but there's a difference between being a cool destination for college grads and truly offering a diverse range of opportunities. Let's keep the momentum going and ignore these types of accolades.

Forbes: New Orleans is America's fastest-growing city
NEW ORLEANS -- Population-wise, New Orleans is the comeback city of the country. Forbes Magazine just ranked the Big Easy the fastest growing city in America since 2007. It had a long way to go after losing more than half its nearly 500,000 residents after Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005. Forbes credits two things for the city's rapid growth, a partial rebound effect and what is called a "striking economic revival."
There is now expected to be another wave of people flocking to New Orleans when the new University and Veterans Administration Hospitals open over the next few years in the city's emerging Bio-Medical Corridor. "We're trending in the right direction," said Hecht. "What's happening here is not just a population rebound that was going to happen, regardless. But people are voting with their feet because of the opportunity that you have in the new, New Orleans."
"I think you will see a lot of job opportunity at a high level, a high salary," said Rigamer. "You'll see people coming to fill those jobs." "The Bio-Medical Corridor certainly could attract more people from the suburban areas," said Plyer. "That's part of creating those amenities that make the city the attractive place to live rather than the suburbs."
