3 of the Best Non-Engineering Industries in Raleigh

This year, the Wall Street Journal ranked Raleigh NC as the fourth best city in America for wage growth, labor force participation, and unemployment rate. Of course, this is at least in part due to the booming tech industry in the Triangle, but you don’t have to be an engineer to find a good job in Raleigh. 

“We just have such a thriving economy and we’re not a one-trick pony. So there’s a lot of opportunity for people regardless of the industry sector that they’re focused on,” said Adrienne Cole, the president and CEO of the Raleigh Chamber in an interview with ABC 11.
