With a 2.6% job growth rate — well above the national average of 1.5% — and thriving industries in banking, pharmaceuticals, and technology, the state continues to attract talent, innovation, and investment. One major contributor? The Research Triangle Park, home to over 200 companies shaping the future of tech, science, and business.
