Louisiana’s Future
Economic strategy was somewhat easier in past
generations. The destiny of states was largely shaped by
their natural assets: a pleasant climate, abundant natural
resources, availability of land, coastal locations, and so on.
Though these continue to be important factors for the states,
it has become abundantly clear that 21st century places
will succeed because of assets they create, not assets
they inherit.

National Perspective
 U.S. will have 3 million more jobs requiring a
bachelor’s degree and not enough graduates to fill
them;

90% of fastest growing jobs, 60% of new jobs; and

40% of manufacturing jobs will require
postsecondary education.
