Jul 28, 2010

The Raleigh-Cary metro has been named the no. 5 Strongest Job Market in the United States by Manpower. As a part of the Research Triangle Park, Raleigh offers many opportunities for expansion in the information technology, biotechnology, and healthcare fields. The strong talent base and a large higher education system make Raleigh and Cary a haven for business and steady job growth.

As three of the region’s top employers, Raleigh’s North Carolina State University, WakeMed Health and Hospital, and Rex Healthcare play a major role in the local job market.

With a current unemployment rate of 8.2% with 19% of companies looking to hire in the third quarter, Raleigh and Cary will continue to draw talented, highly skilled workers.  Between the Research Triangle Park, a flourishing University network, and robust healthcare system, Raleigh and Cary offer many opportunities for employment.
