Abstract:
Increased labor costs as well as shipping costs more recently associated with Chinese imports are giving opportunity for a resurgence of North Carolina's furniture industry. Chaddock Furniture Workroom originally started in California and now in Morganton has chosen to target the luxury furniture market.. In 1990, North Carolina had more than 90,000 people working in the furniture industry. By 2009, this number had dropped by more than a half due to a trade agreement that opened up imports from Asia. Kevin Ward is Chaddock's president.
