We don't have the education to bring in any other jobs and we aren't exactly tax friendly. Hard to bring in tech jobs when we keep pulling from the education fund every year to have a balanced budget.

We ranked ahead of Alabama in the education rankings in US News last year. I don't know how much stock I'd put in that report though.
Either way, our education spending per pupil is middle of the pack. We are ranked somewhere in the high 20s compared to other states. Perhaps we just spend our education funds poorly or we have massive administrative bloat?

So are there any solutions that would work for southern Louisiana ? I am not an economist so I don’t exactly how you improve education besides throwing dollars at it every year.
I often dream of Louisiana being better economically than any other southeastern state but Baton Rouge and New Orleans are controlled by politicians who have no answers except to keep things the way they are.
Seems like you have some people with money but a lot of have nots who do not produce much of anything. Is that ever going to change 20-40 years from now ?
I was born in Baton Rouge and I root for Louisiana to do well and become a better place to raise families and learn new things. I don’t think we are all pulling in the same direction though.
