How about some good news for our area? Manpower released their Manpower Employment Outlook Survey Results this week. Their report for the Charlotte metro (MSA) which includes York County SC (Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Lake Wylie, Rock Hill), shows of the metro employers surveyed, 16% plan to hire between October and December. Among the national employers surveyed, the Charlotte Metro is ranked fifth best in the nation.

The Q 4 hiring news is good news since the same survey results for 2009 Q 4 was -6%. The rest of the survey indicated 76% of local employers surveyed were planning to maintain staff levels while 5% plan to decrease staff levels.

Manpower’s report also indicated the best job sectors for positive growth are Construction, Durable and Non-durable Goods Manufacturing, Financial Activities, Professional & Business Services, Leisure & Hospitality.

For a second year in a row Charlotte North Carolina has been voted the number one place to live by RelocateAmerica.com.

RelocateAmerica.com is an online relocation information resource owned and operated by a real state broker firm called HomeRoute. RelocateAmerica.com has been ranking cities annually for 11 years. They accept city nominations that are considered by the nominees a great place to live. The nominations then are reviewed by their editorial team along with other city key data like education, employment, crime, housing, parks etc and then ranked.

Other North and South Carolina cities in the top ten are Ashville NC and Greenville SC. Rock Hill SC is in the top 100. Fort Mill and Tega Cay which are just minutes south of Charlotte are part of the Charlotte Metro area, although not specifically listed in their ranking , I would include in the number 1 ranking. Here is the top 10 list:

1. Charlotte, NC.
2. San Antonio, TX.
3. Chattanooga, TN.
4. Greenville, SC.
5. Tulsa, OK.
6. Stevens Point, WS.
7. Asheville, NC.
8. Albuquerque, NM.
9. Huntsville, AL.
10. Seattle, WA.

It is interesting Charlotte stayed at number 1 since Forbes recently voted Charlotte 9th most miserable city to live. I have consistently disagreed with Forbes ranking of Charlotte and share the opinion of RelocateAmericas.com’s survey. Here is a link to their website for more information. How would you rank Charlotte?

The US Census Bureau released on March 27, 2008 charts showing the fastest growing metro areas as of July 1, 2007. Ok so I am stretching it a bit to just say Fort Mill. So I really mean the Charlotte metropolitan statistical area (MSA) which is ranked 6^th with the highest number of population growth and ranked 7^th in percent of growth.

I did online research on the Census Bureau’s website to find out what the N.C-S.C. part of the label means in the chart below. The York County South Carolina cities are included in the Charlotte (MSA).

Eight of the 10 fastest-growing metro areas between 2006 and 2007 were located in the South.

The largest cities include New York which was the most populous metro area on July 1, 2007, with 18.8 million people, followed by Los Angeles (12.9 million) and Chicago (9.5 million). The rest of the top ten in order:

• Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX
• Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD
• Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, TX
• Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, FL
• Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV
• Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, GA
• Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH

Those of us who live in the Fort Mill and Tega Cay can validate the recent growth in our area. But amazingly we have kept our small town southern feel. Contact Carmen Miller to find out why so many people want to relocate to the Fort Mill and Tega Cay SC. area.
