New Orleans, LA Colleges and Universities: Accredited Schools in Louisiana
Published: November, 2010- The energy industry is one the largest employers in the New Orleans area, accounting for over 20% of jobs. Fittingly, Fortune 500 power utility Entergy is headquartered in New Orleans, as is the mining company Freeport-McMoRan.
- Tourism is another significant source of jobs, employing over 80,000 people (not surprising as the New Orleans region regularly sees over 10 million visitors annually).
- The ports and shipping also contribute greatly to employment, with the Port of New Orleans ranking fourth in the country in terms of total trade, with the nearby Port of South Louisiana ranking third.
New Orleans has long been famed as one of the most charming, historic, and architecturally significant cities in the United States. While the recent hurricanes may have left it a bit worse for wear, it was recently named by the New York Times as "Comeback City of the Year," attesting to the success of its recovery efforts. The most popular spots in New Orleans are thriving with residents and visitors alike, especially:
- The French Quarter
- The Garden District
- Audubon Park
