Katrina +5

in Brookings Institute, economic development, Katrina, New Orleans

A recent Brookings Institute report has some pretty positive things to say about New Orleans.

"Since 2005, New Orleanians have arguably undertaken more major reforms simultaneously than any other modern American city,''
"The metro area had recovered more than 90 percent of its population and 85 percent of its jobs as of June,"
For the first time since the mid-1980s, average wages here caught up to the national average.
