North Carolian Still in top 10 Unemployment
The Bureau of Labor Statisitics has North Carolina still in the top 10 of unemployment. In fact we are 9th at 10.8%.
Total unemployed, plus all marginally attached workers, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all marginally attached workers is 16.5% in North Carolina.
This calls for a changes in government spending and tax policies. The time for common sense to return to North Carolina is now! The $1.1 Billion tax increase on N.C. has not succeeded in lowering unemployment through the creation of jobs. Isn’t that what this is all about? Government should should be the referee that keeps us all honest. This is true, but the government needs to step back and allow us to succeed or fail based on our own merit.
Our American dream of equal opportunity is under continuous siege by those who wish to run our lives for us. Let us create the jobs and let us create the prosperity for all. Prosperity for all and not government handouts is the American and North Carolinian way.
