  • downward 232x300 North Carolina Unemployment: What Unemployment Insurance Benefits Are Currently Available

    The decline in the unemployment rate of the last three months has caused North Carolina unemployed workers to no longer qualify for the Extended Benefits program.

    The unemployment rate in April remained the same in North Carolina, although the state added 3,000 new jobs to the employment marketplace. The unemployment rate is currently at 9.7 percent, 0.7 percent higher than the national average which is 9 percent.

    Why has the unemployment rate remained unchanged when so many jobs have been created? The answer may lie in the 2,300 plus government jobs which have been terminated in an effort to reduce the budget deficit.
