The Oil and oil services companies left in the 80s and 90s. MMS is still in the NOLA area, but even they've been shrinking. (Oil refineries might stick around, though, since they have a lot of pipes already laid.) Warehouses could go. Coffee importing, for example, has been moving slowly from NOLA to Houston. If the Quarter survived relatively unscathed, I'm sure they'll still have Tourism, but, really, that should just die. There's a number of lawyers (LA Supreme Court as well as a Federal Court are in NOLA) and a number of doctors (some of the best hospitals in LA, which isn't saying too much). There's a couple of large payroll operations that could probably be moved pretty easily. If Los Angelos benefited from San Francisco's loss, then maybe Baton Rouge (whose population has doubled) will benefit from NOLA's loss. I’m not sure New Orleans has much left to give.
