So, who's getting richer? And Where? Forbes places Raleigh-Cary #16 for increasing pay.

Just out yesterday:  Forbes ranks American metropolitan areas in terms of where incomes for educated workers are increasing fastest.  With a 13.54% increase from 2005--2009, we are only slightly behind Charlotte-Gastonia-Concord, NC-SC which weighs in at a 15.45% increase.

Yes, we have been fortunate to miss the brunt of the recession, although that is slight comfort to folks who have been laid off from their work.  As a REALTOR® working in Cary, NC, I see many buyers, and also I have been blessed to have not experienced the funding issues that many colleagues relate on line.
