Louisiana and Texas have the best economies in the south without a doubt. No business wants to be in a piece of shite state like Georgia or Alabama.
Yeah, unless you give a shite about logistics and need to be somewhere conveniently located. Everything traveling from the east to west coast passes through Atlanta then Memphis. This is a primary reason Birmingham has a successful economy. Also a big part of why Fed Ex is in Memphis, along with it being a central location for the US by air.
Louisiana is the absolute worst place to put a business with exception of one factor, your ports. As for the other states you mentioned, one has a huge port in Mobile and the other borders the Atlantic.
Texas is awesome. If they were an independent nation they would have something like the 13th largest economy in the world. I don't remember the exact number but I believe 13th is correct.

Say what?
quote:
The Port of New Orleans is the United States' only deep-water port served by six major railroads, which is more than any other port in the country, that give it cost-effective rail service to the destinations throughout the country. These six railroads are linked by the New Orleans Public Belt, a 25 mile long railroad. The productive private maritime industry in the Port of New Orleans helps it produce year after year and giving it the United States' largest market share for imported steel, plywood, coffee, and natural rubber.
