Economic Outlook in New Orleans

Metropolitan New Orleans is one of the leading industrial centers in the south. As one of the busiest ports in the U.S., its chief exports include oil, petrochemicals, rice, cotton, corn, coal, and textiles. Essential to its economy is a highly diversified manufacturing base which ranges from primary metals, petroleum refining, pharmaceuticals, and textiles to food processing, aerospace, and shipbuilding. Other key factors are commercial fishing, tourism, and manufacturing. The area is served by excellent rail, highway, air, and water transport, notably the Mississippi River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, a deep channel shortcut to the Gulf of Mexico.
