Triangle Employment Shows Rate Below that of State and US
Recent statistics released by the NC Employment Security Commission show new jobs in North Carolina continuing to occur in various sectors and report a correlation with population growth in the particular sector. The Triangle jobless rate of 3.8 percent remained unchanged. The Triangle rate was lower than the statewide rate of 4.7 and national rate of 4.5. The unemployment rate in the Triangle remained steady due to the many jobs that continue to come into our area either through corporate expansion or new companies moving here. According to estimates from Wachovia Securities, about 55,000 people moved to the seven-county Triangle region in 2006 (Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Franklin, Granville and Johnston). Low unemployment and job growth – how much better can it get? We are fortunate live in a thriving area that attracts many relocating families and real estate investors.
