Answer:

It appears the majority of the state's growth was driven by mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction, which grew by 1.5% during the second quarter. Non-durable goods manufacturing and durable goods manufacturing was much softer than earlier in the year and grew by only 0.03% and 0.28% respectively in Louisiana.
