Greensboro, NC (photo taken by me)



With all the talk of fake jobs reports and part time jobs, it seems that jobs are indeed real.

Greensboro, North Carolina which has a population of 270,000 and is NC's third largest city, has seen a wave of jobs announcements. All are full time jobs and this is just in one city in the state. There are jobs announcemnents like the ones list below all over North Carolina. President Obama must be doing something right. The wave of jobs coming to North Carolina could affect the outcome in who wins the Tarheel State

These are jobs in different sectors

New Greensboro jobs announcements within the past 4 months.

TIMCO Aviation Services - 400 jobs

Honda Aircraft Company world headquarters & Jet factory - 419 jobs

Lenovo Computer & Tablet assembly plant - 115 jobs

BB&T Bank (Triad Corporate Center) - 2,500 jobs

Deere-Hitachi (Kernersville, NC outside of Greensboro) - 340 jobs

Ralph Lauren (High Point, NC outside of Greensboro) - 500 jobs

Greensboro based Volvo Trucks of North America (expansion number of jobs not announced yet)

Keep doing that every month and maybe it will actually mean something in relationship to the thousands of jobs lost in the Piedmont of NC.

The best part about those jobs is that not one of them was created by Obama.

Obama's policies led to these jobs

I'd like to see proof of that claim for each of those then....I know for a fact that the Lenovo jobs are a result of wages in China rising, so there is strike one for your false claim.

I wonder if NC is a right to work state ? I suspect so, they are the ones with job growth.

whether NC is a right to work state or not, the trend is job growth which is something we didn't see when the republicans controlled the White House. Unemployment is still high because we were in such a deep hole. It's going to take a long time before the U.S. economy returns to the way it was in the 1990s. Bill Clinton couldn't have pulled it off in four years and quite frankly I think it will be around the year 2020 before we see a dramatic change in the economy. The next four years won't be that much better but it would certainly be worse under Romney. For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want to vote for someone who would put in place the same exact economic policies that got us into this mess in the first place. Romney is surrounding himself with former Bush aides to help him with the economy and foreign affairs. Lets not even talk bout foreign affairs because under a Romney administration we would be going to war with Iran.
