In the 1970s, the nation experienced an oil boom. How did this affect Louisiana's economy?

History

romanna [79]3 years ago

By 1986, shops on Canal Street were closed and windows were boarded up and colorfully painted. Just a decade earlier,

But by the mid-1980s, one in eight workers was unemployed in Louisiana, the highest unemployment rate in the nation. The cruelest impact was on families, as fathers left their children and wives.

One of the biggest hits fell on the small bayou communities that had thrived in the 1970s. In Morgan City, one in four were jobless.

As oil prices dropped – as low as $10 a barrel – some pessimists said Louisiana’s heyday as a prosperous and carefree supplier of energy was over forever. Even if prices rebounded, they said, the Gulf was running out of recoverable oil. But technology proved them wrong, as new deepwater drilling techniques allowed energy companies to find oil and gas in ways that would not have been imaginable just 25 years ago.

which of the following describes a reason historians might want to use a primary source to study an event
baherus [9]
A primary source comes from someone who lived during the time of the event or they were at the event. The reason why historians want primary source is because it is more likely to be factual and will give the best information. For example, at the signing of the declaration of independence several of the men who signed it wrote diaries . That would be considered a primary source, because those men were there and saw it as well as documented the event.
