High oil prices make Louisiana boom. If oil stays at $100 a barrel Louisiana will take off.

Yep I agree high oil makes every thing move! When you give oil company's money they put more to work! Oil was 130 we all were making good money...and our bonus were stupid high

Keep looking in the paper and on companys web sites.

I was talking to a hunting buddy that works there. He said that after this weekend, he may not get away from the plant to make anymore hunts this year.

Maybe in your line of work but in my line of work, selling/hauling wholesale gas and diesel, when oil prices are high no one is buying. They are watching the stock market daily waiting for price of oil to make a drop and then they order. Prices change everyday at 6pm.
