North Carolina Job Outlook

North Carolina’s opportunities for higher education are comprised of both public and private two-year and four-year schools. One of the state’s most famous schools is Duke University, a private research university located in Durham, North Carolina. The school is nearly as respected for its research capabilities as it is for its world famous athletics.

Public schools in North Carolina are run by the University of North Carolina System, which includes a total of 17 campuses. The University of North Carolina System has an enrollment of over 183,000 student and awards over 75% of all Bachelor’s Degrees earned within the state. The largest university in the system, which is also the largest university in the state, is North Carolina State University, with a total enrollment of over 33,000 students.

A great number of the students served by the many public and private universities in North Carolina then move on to acquire jobs within the state. North Carolina is the ninth wealthiest state in the nation in terms of GDP, and the state’s main industries are agriculture and manufacturing. However, in recent years, finance, technology, and research have also become important industries in North Carolina’s larger cities, such as Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro.
