Texas and Florida are filled with educated transplants. Atlanta and Nashville are also filled with educated transplants. The rest of the Deep South states are lagging behind big time. Lack of commitment to education and draconian conservative policies at the state level will always keep the Southern states at the bottom.
Cities and states with elite Universities that produce an attractive talent pool are always going to get the jobs.

Louisiana spends mid 20s per pupil and has 46th ranked schools. Do you think we'd do any better if we spent more?

What is an example of a draconian conservative policy that you would say is one of the causes of poor economics in the south?

People keep parroting this yet we spend more money on schools per capita than a lot of places. It’s almost like the lack of accountability for job performance leads to poor job performance and results.
Also the policies that incentivize being poor pushed down on us from Washington and self loathing progressives continue to destroy the family unit, and in turn respect for authority. This leads to shite schools even more so than borderline mentally handicapped students trying to learn calculus.

if you mean the population has a lack of commitment to education and somehow lower class mentalities are "draconian conservative policies", then sure
