[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 836061, member: 12952"] [url]http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=43371[/url] While Barack Obama worries about the future of the Brazilian energy industry, Louisiana residents are feeling the pain of his administration’s unwise war against domestic oil and gas production. While the national unemployment rate has dropped in the past year, Louisiana’s employment picture has worsened. In New Orleans, the impact has been dramatic, as the unemployment rate has increased from 6.6% to 7.9% in the past year. It is even worse in Baton Rouge, which has experienced the largest 12-month unemployment rate increase in the country, from 6.6% to 8.2%. Statewide, the unemployment rate increased from 6.8% to 8.0% in the past year. Today, in Louisiana, there are 25,000 more unemployed workers, an increase of 18%, from this point last year. Most of these losses can be attributed to the administration’s ill-advised drilling moratorium. [/QUOTE]
