Abstract:
Although per capita income in North Carolina has risen substantially since 1929, the state is still low on the rank of state income. As 44th in the country, North Carolina's per capita income only reaches $1,520 for 1951. Factors contributing to the lower income of southern states such as North Carolina are the agricultural economy and certain larger population groups such as children.

Abstract:
North Carolina ranks 44th in the United States in per capita income. Sources of income that lead to the low percentage of income are mainly manufacturing and agriculture. Additionally, an unbalanced economy exists in the state where over 50% of the employment and over 50% of the wages is in only ten counties.

Abstract:
Although it has been suggested that a study be done on the cause for North Carolina's low per capita income, it is argued that the reasons behind it are already known. Five major factors affect the low per capita income in the state: large percentage of children, a still predominantly rural economy, small farms, a large African American population, and low wages in many industries.

Abstract:
Economic growth in the United States increased in the beginning of 2014, but has been declining since June. In North Carolina, the employment rate is still not back to the level before the recession, and bank profitability has stalled. These trends are driven by struggles in consumer income, salaries and wages.

Abstract:
Economic and occupational growth in the Tarheel State, partly because of sectors such as banking and higher education, has fed what Hood called North Carolina Exceptionalism. What may be less obvious to those on both side of the political spectrum is the role that the Republican and Democrat parties have played in the growth of such sectors, whether for credit or blame.

Abstract:
On the downside to the takeover of AI in employment sectors: the elimination of jobs traditionally targeted for elimination, such as factory work; the elimination of highly paid positions such as software designing. Changes that may be a mixed blessing include a minimum guaranteed income provided by the government. However, what may be criticized now as a sign of a socialistic society may one day be regarded as the basis of economic survival.

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:
North Carolina’s recent changes in tax laws countered large companies such as Uber and Lyft attempting to avoid work-related taxes by classifying workers as independent contractors. As for how employees may help in the avoidance of this issue, the author advised those who may be vulnerable to misclassification to keep track of their status. Those particularly vulnerable to misclassification are workers hired through staffing agencies.
