We are so excited to claim the lowest unemployment rate in
the entire state of North Carolina. Currituck CO landed in the top spot in
October 2012 with an unemployment rate (UE) of just 5.5 percent. When compared with Scotland and Graham
County’s UE rates topping 15 percent, it is very evident that Currituck County
is prepped to see continued economic growth.
Much of the stability of the job market in Currituck County
comes from the tourism and visitor-related industries which are seeing growth
during the “shoulder seasons” of the spring and fall. This new growth is attributed to visitors
from surrounding areas who come to our slice of paradise for long weekends and
overnight stays.
Outside the tourism industries we
are seeing larger growth in the agricultural industry as well. With the increases in demand for agricultural
production as well as the demand for fuel all over the world, Currituck County
has huge potential for long term growth in agriculture over the next 10
years.
Other sectors seeing growth are
small businesses as well as year round services and professional jobs. More people are relocating to Currituck County from Hampton Roads and
other parts of the country because of their ties to the military either in the
military or working with defense contractors which means more people are
setting up needed businesses in the area.
As the northeastern most county
in North Carolina, Currituck County is the bridge between Hampton Roads and the
Outer Banks. With the estimated
population of almost 24,000 (2011 Census Estimate) people living on over 260
square miles of land, Currituck County is ripe for the picking with businesses
relocating to the area. The ideal
location with rural and coastal areas, lower taxes and access to perfect
beaches, this is the perfect locale for business and personal relocation.
We are excited for the future of
Currituck County and plan to do everything we can to ensure its economic
success. Because of our strong outlook
and our love of the community, Currituck County will, without a doubt, prosper
and continue to grow.
