Changes in local Unemployment Levels

In North Carolina's 100 counties, unemployment rates fell in 90 of the counties (according to a recent report by the North Carolina Employment Security Commission. The High Country dropped in each of our counties, Ashe fell to 10.7 percent, Avery County dropped to 8.2 percent, and Watauga County's rate reduced to 7.6 percent. Watauga County is tied for fifth across our state with one of the lowest unemployment rates.

Neighboring areas, like Hickory and Lenoir are still struggling mightily with an unemployment rate that has dropped to 14.6 percent.
