NC economy ahead of the nation

“The housing market has been a key part of this recession. Price declines have limited new construction and reduced household wealth. Federal housing data show home prices actually edged higher in North Carolina in the fourth quarter of 2009, while still dropping in the nation. Also, since last spring, wage and salary payments to workers in North Carolina have averaged quarterly gains, even though they declined at the national level.”
