Abstract:
The Triangle has one of the nation’s lowest unemployment rates, registering at about three-percent most months.

Abstract:
Many of the latest food fads are scams, but others, such as the fish fad, are riddled with pesticides and pollutants. North Carolinians are more prone to food contaminants due to the state’s farming activity, humid climate, and proximity to the coast. Citizens are advised to take food precautions, and to consider new laws that would encourage organic farming and tax pesticide use.

Abstract:
There are federal proposals to raise gasoline taxes to diminish excessive use of cars and thereby help reduce pollution.
