NC employment numbers show we had fewer North Carolinians working at the end of 2009 than in 2000! NC has lost 250,000 jobs since The Great Recession began in December 2007.        "It is basically economic warfare. People are just desperate for jobs."      North Carolina      Commerce Secretary      Keith Crisco      1/20/10
