Manufacturing Jobs
I've heard for years that the reason manufacturers don't come to Louisiana is because, here in this state, the type of laborers required are not educated enough. It's a lye that is purpetuated to keep the poor working in the service industries at a low wages. You don't have to have a technical education to be a good drill press operator..
Why is this important?
The State should Incourage companies to set up manufacturing operations here that the average educated person of Louisiana could secure a good job. The chemical and ship build industries could incourage the ledgilature to give reasons to have other industries come to Louisiana. Why don't they do so? Is it because that they don't want to compete for labor? Let's get the powers that be in our state to give incentives to manufacturers to come to Louisiana.
