Economic Headwinds, Rising Costs Affect Industrial Market in Greater New Orleans

by John Nelson

Despite healthy local market dynamics, the greater New Orleans industrial market did not perform as strongly as insiders expected it to perform over the past 12 months, which is indicative of wider economic factors suppressing a market with pent-up demand.  The Port of New Orleans and its access to major shipping routes along the Mississippi River has long been the principal component for industrial real estate in the area. The recent 2024 regular session of the Louisiana Legislature committed $230.5 million to Port of New Orleans infrastructure projects, including allocations to the Louisiana International Terminal, a $1.8 billion project in Violet, La., scheduled to be operational in 2028, which will be the Gulf South’s premier container shipping gateway able to accommodate New Panamax- and Post New Panamax-sized vessels.  A bit further up the Mississippi River but still in the greater New Orleans region, Canadian company Woodland Biofuels announced a $1.35 billion investment at the Port of South Louisiana in Reserve, La., to establish the largest renewable natural gas plant in the world. The facility will take waste wood and sugar cane and turn it into natural gas. The process will be carbon-negative, leaving less carbon in the atmosphere than before …

US Economy Adds 12,000 Jobs in October, Far Below Expectations

by John Nelson

WASHINGTON, D.C. —  The U.S. economy added 12,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in October, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This figure falls drastically short of expectations as CNBC reports that the Dow Jones economists previously predicted an increase of 100,000 jobs for the month. In its report, the BLS noted that strike activity significantly impacted employment in the manufacturing sector, which saw the loss of 46,000 jobs. Of those jobs, 44,000 were within the transportation equipment manufacturing field, reflecting the impact of the Boeing strike. Temporary help services, a subsect of professional and business services, saw a decline of 49,000 jobs in October. Government employment and healthcare added 40,000 and 52,000 jobs, respectively, while construction employment increased by a less significant 8,000 jobs. Other major industries saw little to no change. The BLS report also cited the potential impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton on October’s employment situation, though it noted that “it is not possible to quantify the net effect on the over-the-month change in national employment, hours or earnings estimate.” The unemployment rate for October remained unchanged at 4.1 percent. According to Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the jobs …
