- Economy_of_Shreveport abstract "Shreveport has played a role in the United States oil business. The Standard Oil company of Louisiana was once based there, but the Louisiana branch was later absorbed by Standard Oil of New Jersey. In the late 1970s to early 1980s the oil and gas industry experienced an economic downturn, and many companies cut back employment or went out of business. Many residents left the area following the late 1970s to early 1980s recession.Today the city is a busy metropolitan city, hosting various riverboat casinos, and it is second only to New Orleans in Louisiana tourism.
