Few of us who watched it will ever forget watching the floods caused by Hurricane Katrina devastate the city of New Orleans, one of America’s truly unique treasures. While most of the state has recovered, the state is still dealing with some lingering issues relating to that very fateful week in 2005. It didn’t end there for Louisiana, as the BP oil spill threatened to wipe out several of Louisiana’s industries. Fortunately, for the most pat the state has continued to move on.  The state’s unemployment number is lower than that of the nation, it still has almost 19% of its residents living near the poverty level.
