do you accept the premise that if a company decided to move 15,000 manufacturing jobs to New Orleans that it would benefit the economy around New Orleans? It would raise housing prices due to increased demand. It would benefit the surrounding economy for food, clothing, cleaning, and other professional services creating more jobs for each of them? You understand that, right? That's logical and common sense?
Yet, why is it so difficult to comprehend that when you move thousands of jobs to some farm town in China or Bangladesh the same impact occurs? If not even moreso since in New Orleans it's adding more jobs to a very poor, yet industrialized area. In the third world areas, it's adding entire new economy to a completely impoverished area.
