N.C. keeps 'Top Business Climate' ranking for fourth year

Great news for us. Truly the land of milk & honey. I am willing to bet that the Triangle was the number one reason for topping the rankings.....yet again.

You have to look at the big picture. The nation is having major issues. Luckily we get to be at the top of the list with business. Would you prefer to be at the bottom? I say put those glasses back on and just be happy that you are here and not in Detroit.

LOL! Now THAT was funny. Rep, rep, rep.

And yes, while everything is relative, I'm concerned that this kind of publicity will continue to lure people here who think that jobs are easy picking. Because they're not. So the last thing we need is more people moving in hoping to get employment. A legitimate concern, IMO.

It is just as likely that it will draw more business here, which is just what we need. Keep bringing the business here.

You literally took the words out of my mouth!

I heard about this on NPR this evening while I was driving home from work. I was going to post about it too!

Yes, the entire country is going through a difficult time. Isn't it great that we are having a less difficult time overall than many other places?

Yes it is Jenny. I don't know why people look for the half empty glass, when there is a half full one right in front of them.
