Abstract:

Income inequality in North Carolina is illustrated through the map revealing where the one hundred counties fall, annual income wise. Only in four counties—Mecklenburg, Durham, Orange, and Wake—can individuals can earn ten percent over state average, pegged at $45,000. The author cited opportunity as a substantial factor. However, this inequality could narrow, with the annual salary increase in forty-seven counties revealing this promise.

Abstract:

The Triad region established the marketing strategy of regionalism in North Carolina and it became a model for seven other state-designated regional partnerships. Now, however, politicians are suspicious of regionalism, for many communities are becoming more concerned with individual economic growth. Consequently, population, wages, and employment in the Triad are falling behind the metropolitan regions of Charlotte and Raleigh.
