North Carolina releases a list of Top 300 Private Employers, compiled annually, based off the first quarter employment size as reported by the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wage (QCEW) program. The list breaks out employment by Manufacturing and Nonmanufacturing employment.
In this article, we delve into the Career and Technical Education programs offered through North Carolina’s community colleges, examining employment and wage outcomes by program area and age.
Every year lists detailing the best jobs in America are released by groups such as Glassdoor, Indeed and U.S. News and World Report. These lists have similar methodologies which include some combination of open opportunities – are people being hired to do the job – and salaries – the higher the better. These lists rate occupations from a national perspective, but the question I have is whether the best occupational opportunities in North Carolina mirror the best jobs in the nation.
Last month, we released our 2017-2026 Sub-State Long Term Industry Projections for North Carolina. As reported in our summary of the 2017-2026 Statewide Long Term Employment Projections, we project an increase in jobs of about 389,000 with an annualized growth rate (AGR) of 0.89%, and a growth rate over the period of 8.3%1. This summary shows the variation of growth across the state in terms of regions and industries. Before we get into the summary, a brief description of the regions is in order.
