No it’s not an up and coming IT sector. At best you are working with SMBs, or one of a few “big” players like Entergy or Ochsner.
I’m in the industry with a good resume and experience with in demand skills.... I’ve been applying to positions in Nashville and Houston, and the job markets there are a whole different ball game.

There are 54 Fortune 500 companies in Texas and 2 Fortune 500 companies in Louisiana. Texas has way better opportunities and anyone who can't see that is either naive or a loyalist
So much road construction and building going on, big accounting firms, medical hub, O&G. Jobs for everyone in TX. In general, the jobs pay about 20% more in TX (Houston) than Louisiana. Plus lower cost of living, and better schools. No wonder 10% of all people born in Louisiana move to TX.

Gas is like $2.45 a gallon, they must be swimming in cash in Louisiana.

I think that happened in the Carter years - 1976-80.
Actually, those years were quite good in Louisiana for oil....remember the gas lines of the late 70's....that meant a lot of opportunity for domestic production. Reagan's administration with its policies, although good for America was hell on the oil patch.

And the Port of New Orleans tanked around that time.
yeah, NOLA lagged on the container shipping during that time and Houston capitalized on it.....NOLA had to deal with a very prominent Longshoreman, union.

Houston and Atlanta and they zoomed impossibly ahead.
Atlanta had been on the upswing for quite a while then. Hartsfield had become the biggest airport in the world by that time due to Delta being based there and a lot of CHEAP land at the time. Houston was actually remarkable. It was left for dead in the 1980's bust with lots of empty high rises....and then they essentially gave a lot of that office space away for virtually free

Third decline factor was always political corruption and Byzantine, in-bred business practices.
That and logistics. NOLA is essentially an island and does not have a lot of room to expand and at the time, St. Tammany was the country.
