RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – The Triangle’s job market rebound isn’t showing signs of stopping. According to the latest data released by the North Carolina Department of Commerce last week, the Durham/Chapel Hill metropolitan statistical area reported a 3.8% unemployment rate in March, reflecting a decent drop from 4.7% in February. Raleigh is a close second, with unemployment dropping to 3.9% from 4.7% in February.
Both of these figures outpace the state’s 4.6% average (not seasonally adjusted), which fell 1% from the previous month.
The improving jobs outlook comes well before Apple begins hiring in the Triangle for the 3,000 positions it announced last week as part of a new $1 billion campus in the Triangle.
