President Obama Speaks On Job Growth For The Triangle Area

President Barack Obama visited the Triangle area this week and spoke of his plans to increase job growth.  Living in the Triangle area, where unemployment is high, the news of job growth is just what was needed. He visited with workers at Cree Inc.,an LED lighting facility in the Research Triangle Park.  He told them they were helping to lead the way in the clean energy revolution. President Obama said, “You’re helping to lead the comeback of American manufacturing. This is a company where the future will be won.”

Obama’s Jobs and Competitiveness Council also held sessions around the Triangle area and met with President Obama at Cree Inc. The Council is composed of 26 members that are business and labor leaders. The Council was put into place to come up with ideas on increasing job and economic growth. President Obama said to his Council,” We made great strides from where we have been in 2008,” and “We understood that although jobs were being created, they were not being created fast enough. I wake up every morning thinking about how everyone who wants a job is able to get a job.”

The group released their recommendations on how to increase and maintain job growth in many different sectors.  The group recommended increasing tourism and making it easier for tourists to visit the United States through an improved visa process. Another recommendation that the group had was to provide more support to small business owners and provide them with the information they need to gain Small Business Administration funding.

Job growth is important in the Triangle area and more jobs are planned in the future. If you are interested in learning more about short sales or foreclosures in Glen Laurel, contact Rodney Geohagan.
