The Good From Katrina
New buildings, festivals and a “fresh start” has shaped New Orleans into what it is today by making it tougher and more open to how to cope with changes. It gave the city with many problems a new start and fresh beginning. For example, the education systems were deep in poverty with a high illiteracy rate. Once this fresh start was given the education systems were completely refunded and rebuilt.
Before the disaster the unemployment rate was high and the economy varied, after Katrina jobs were available to all people and this helped people get back on their feet again.
