Where The Jobs Are In The Carolinas
"Will I be able to find a job in once I find their best place to live?"
Even though all of us are affected by what's going on in the economy today, most of us were planning to still be doing some type of work when we retire. Whether it be full or part time.
And for the many people looking to escape the rising costs of living in their current states, being able to find a job is a top priority.
As far as I'm concerned, for those of us that are in the boomer generation, looking to still work during retirement, I feel that's a good thing.
Not only for your pocket book, but for your sense of pride, accomplishment and keeping your mind stimulated and productive. It's definitely healthier to be contributing and have a sense of purpose.
A new report was just published entitled, "Best Performing Cities 2008…Where America's Jobs are Created and Sustained."
This report ranks the nation's 200 largest metropolitan areas and 124 smaller ones. It also tells you where they ranked in 2007, as compared to this year.
It becomes clear which areas are prospering due to the growth of jobs and salaries.
Of course some of the information is affected by the economy.
However, I' m here to tell you how well we did in North Carolina and South Carolina, so for those many of you who always ask about jobs, you'll know where they are!
The Top 25 Best Performing Large Metropolitan Areas included:
