Abstract:
For most of the 20th Century, textiles, tobacco and furniture were the "Big Three" industries in North Carolina. All three were in decline by the year 2000. The development of Research Triangle Park, in conjunction with top-flight universities nearby, has greatly augmented the transition from labor dependent to technology oriented industries now driving the state's economy.
