Data shows residents are leaving Louisiana

(AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal says a recent survey shows residents are leaving Louisiana and it would be a mistake for state officials to blame Hurricane Katrina or any other storm for the migration. The American Community Survey shows Louisiana’s population in 2007 was 4.29 million, down from 4.5 million in 2000. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 did force many residents to leave the state, but Jindal says the migration out of Louisiana goes back almost 15 years.
