North Carolina was chosen as the third-best state
for business by
Forbes Magazine in 2010 (fifth-best in 2024).
But while North Carolina's urban areas have enjoyed
a prosperous economy with steady job growth
including low unemployment and rising wages,
many of the state's
rural counties have suffered
from job loss, rising levels of poverty, and population loss
as their manufacturing base has declined. (
