Greensboro, North Carolina turning the corner on the Economy?

The Triad Business Journal just released some very interesting figures.  While we have heard nothing but Doom & Gloom from the media the unemployment rate in the Triad is actually down according to information released by the North Carolina Employment Security Commission.  The rate has dropped slightly from 7.1 in August to 6.8 in September.   Now while this in and by itself is not a tremendous bit of news according to RealtyTrac Inc. the number of foreclosures fell almost 27% in September compared to last year at this time.   Funny the MEDIA has been predicting it will get worst before it gets better. Now granted the foreclosure rate is still high 2,477 in September of this year.  But last year in September there were 3,380 filings.   Meanwhile across the country foreclosure filings increased 21% in the last 12 months.  North Carolina ranks 35thamong all states with Nevada, California, and Arizona leading the pack.

So maybe we are just a little better off then most of the rest of the states and within our own state we are turning the tide I guess putting us ahead of the curve.  Of course new industries relocating to the South do help.
