NC bleeds more manufacturing jobs and there isn't a thing we can do about it.

If CAFTA is supposed to export jobs like NAFDA, I am if favor of it. Since NAFTA our national unemployment rate has remained around 5 percent. Maybe Europe should adopt similar trade agreements (hint they don't and their unemployment rates stay around 10 percent).
And if we are exporting so many jobs, why are some many illegals coming to America to work?

While I feel for the folks losing their jobs, it's business.............supply and demand.

According to the Charlotte Observer the NC unemployment rate was in May was 5.1%. Statewide it was 5.5 last year and 6.5 the year before that.
Looks pretty good to me.

"NC bleeds more manufacturing jobs and there isn't a thing we can do about it."
Well, I remember seeing some [seriously] high end hardwood Italian-made furniture sets. They looked better than Ethan Allen or Broyhill stuff - better styling, not that their making looked much more involved. One would think that NC furniture industry has necessary know-how and could consider shifting up-scale.
