You're welcome! I hope it is useful.
I was born and raised here in North Carolina and there has always been jobs if only a person don't mind working. I'm in southeastern North Carolina and would not want to live around the bigger cities, I love the country living here. Good information for people that is looking for a job and don't mind the fast pace of everyday life. :)
