Engineering has a decent job market in the GNO with the several chemical plants and refineries just outside of the city limits plus consulting firms servicing these plants and the upstream oil and gas sector. Nothing like the Houston market, but there's opportunities

The problem is that the Engineering couple making 200k a year would struggle to live in the city, and pay private tuition for their two kids and live comfortably. They could live like kings in Sugarland/Katy, TX.

Is the problem with NOLA not in the city proper, or is the problem with the lack of middle/upper-middle class suburbs with decent public schools that could provide a wider economic base?
