Press Release:

    Raleigh, N.C.     Governor Pat McCrory and Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker released the following statement after North Carolina's unemployment rate dropped by 0.5 of a percentage point to 6.9 percent  -  the lowest rate in more than five years.

    "The trend of more people getting back to work in North Carolina is great news for our state," said Governor McCrory. "We continue to see that our pro-growth and pro-jobs policies enacted over the last year are having a positive impact and getting people into jobs. While this is welcome news, we will remain focused on policies that will encourage job growth  -  not just for the short-term, but for the long-term to sustain the progress we have made."

    Secretary Decker added, "We're encouraged to see these early signs of economic recovery, but we won't rest until every North Carolinian who wants a job has one. The economic development plan approved last week lays the foundation for continuing this important work across the state."
