Economic uncertainty in Louisiana in the Trump era

BY ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

Business leaders in Louisiana, a deep red state that Trump carried with 60% of the vote, say the changes have created a sense of uncertainty, making it hard to predict what the world will look like in six weeks let alone six years.

In more than a dozen interviews over the past week, CEOs and executives at many of the state's largest companies and financial institutions said that they expect some investments to be delayed and are concerned about the potential for scuttled projects.

But they largely remain supportive of the new administration.
