The Triangle Does it Again!  In the past the Triangle Area has been fortunate to be one of the Best Places to Live and a media darling! With the economy slowing and unemployment rising there has been concern that our red hot economy will start to slow down.  Don't get me wrong, employment in the Triangle is expected to decline with recent layoffs by IBM, Nortel, and other top companies. 

The good news - In an announcment by Forbes this week they have chosen the Triangle Region as the Best Place for Business and Careers.   This year is actually the 3rd year in a row that our region has topped the list! 

 There are a number of reasons economists are predicting that the Triangle will be virtually untouched by the recession: 

• -Past and future job growth
• -Low business costs
• -Reasonable cost of living
• -Highly educated work force

I'm personally feel lucky to live in the Triangle.  We are very fortunate to live in an area that continues to thrive.
