My family and I are looking to move to the Charlotte area from NY. We are trying to see what the job market is like there. Do you know of any big name corps located anywhere in the Charlotte area-north or south---(suburbs too)? I know Lowes and Ingersollrand, Bank of America and Wachovia are there-if you know of any others please share! Thanks
