Hi there,
I have been living in New Orleans for the last 7 years. I live uptown (between the garden district and Tulane). I love the area it is beautiful. There are a lot of jobs in the service industry and entry-level. unfortunately, there is not a lot of higher paying professional jobs. The lack of these jobs has created an exodus of young professionals from New Orleans. I love this city, it is a small town and a large city at the same time. Unfortunately, I will be moving to go to school next fall and I know I will miss it. Good Luck with you move and if you have any specific questions or would like me to send you a local paper or anything like that send me a private message.
