Cary NC Real Estate Blog: Raleigh Ranked #1 by Forbes Magazine for Best Cities for Jobs

Stop by and check out information on the Triangle area, real estate, and anything you want to know about the Raleigh-Cary area.

Raleigh Ranked #1 by Forbes Magazine for Best Cities for Jobs

Data Points:

Raleigh, North Carolina

Rank Last Year: 7

Median Household Income Rank: 30
Unemployment Rank: 13
Income Growth Rank: 12
Cost Of Living Rank: 45
Job Growth Rank: 10

Raleigh has a lot to offer, mainly the fact that it has nothing bad to offer. Unlike Florida, North Carolina's housing market has been relatively stable, so Raleigh probably doesn't have a downturn to look forward to. The three universities in the area--Duke, the University of North Carolina and North Carolina State University--help attract highly educated workers and technology firms. We receive comments all the time that the Triangle has a lot of the amenities of Florida, except not the hurricanes.
