Visit the RDU area and witness the fantastic expansion of Raleigh, Durham, Cary Morrisville and even Apex and the doubt will be removed.
an educated but out of work young person needing a job should hang out there a month and select the best offer.
I'm educated and unemployed in the area. Lay offs happen here too. Been looking for a while now. I have a good resume too. My last job, I would say at least 75% were foreigners. I was laid off in 2000 too in this area. I had to take contract jobs out of town and finally landed a permanent job in 2005 in this area. Worked 5 years and was laid off again when they shipped our jobs to Poland. I thought I wasn't going to have any trouble finding a job this time. Worked remotely for Microsoft on a 8 month contract (renewed twice) but after that I couldn't land anything. Still looking now. I get a lot of calls about out of town contracts, but I am getting too old to travel around like I did previously.
