be sure to read the article. The headline is somewhat misleading

The Charlotte region will add an average of 1,500 jobs per month as the economy recovers, or 15,000 to 18,000 per year, Vitner said. At that rate, it would take three years or more to recover the 61,000 jobs the region has lost since the recession began.[LEFT]

So I'm guessing that all of the new jobs that people have posted have a long way to go before they equal the jobs that have been lost.

I hope no one is naive enough to believe that the unemployment rate is suddenly going to drop because of a couple companies posting job creation.

Also, I'm not happy that we are basically banned from showing job losses. I don't get it, people don't want to face reality or think that if you run away from reality, things will go away.....

yep. Barking. Now, every new job opportunity is fantastic, however, it will take awhile to recover...
