Raleigh, N.C. – North Carolina’s unemployment rate fell to 6.3 percent in March as employers added nearly 20,000 new jobs across the state, according to data released Friday by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The new jobs mean North Carolina saw the second largest increase [second to Gov. Haley's Palmetto State] in employment in the nation, while the state’s unemployment rate is at a more than five-year low just one month after it fell below the national average for the first time since March 2006.
Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) issued the following statement in response to the news:
“Today’s report showing North Carolina saw the second largest jobs increase in the country is just the latest encouraging sign that our economy is moving in the right direction, thanks to the tax cuts and balanced budgets enacted by Republicans in the General Assembly. In the upcoming short session, we’ll remain focused on policies to empower the private sector to create more new jobs and get even more North Carolinians back to work.”

For state economic performance, Texas ranked number one, followed by Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Montana. The highest ranking, best-performing states in ALEC’s report have several characteristics in common – not only are they low-tax Right to Work states, but they have allowed the energy boom to create thousands of new businesses, jobs, and prosperity. Even liberal critics are quick to point to the energy boom as the reason millions of Americans are flocking to states like Texas and North Dakota – but those same liberals are pushing policies that dampen the massive economic growth potential that the energy industry holds. The ALEC report confirms that it is both the energy boom and the business environment that are making economically free states successful – and both are dependent on good state policy.
While Texas, Utah, and the Dakotas have dominated these lists for years, a few states made massive gains in the rankings this year. North Carolina’s historic tax cuts helped them move from 22nd to 6th. Similarly, Indiana’s tax cuts and move to become a Right to Work state moved them from 14th to 3rd, and Michigan becoming a Right to Work state moved them from 20th to 12th. These numbers mean more than rankings on a list – they mean more jobs, more freedom, and more families being able to keep more of what they earn.
On the flip side, high-tax, big government states like Rhode Island, California, Illinois, and New York continue to flounder. Families, businesses, and tax revenue are leaving these states in droves for greener pastures, leaving behind high unemployment, lack of worker freedom, empty storefronts, and unsustainable government spending.

The G.O.P. It's like government, but it works. The most successful social programs in the history of man---American jobs---continue to flourish in climates of economic freedom.
