State to add 700,000 jobs between 2004 and 2014
The state could see thousands of new jobs in health care and education during the next seven years, according to the Employment Security Commission.
The commission predicted in a Monday report that North Carolina will pick up 700,000 jobs between 2004 and 2014.
Jobs here, buoyed by heath care, could grow at a rate of nearly 17 percent — compared to a predicted 13 percent national growth rate for the same period. But the state’s production jobs will continue to dwindle, helped along by the textile-industry losses that have hit the Triad so hard.
