2009 North Carolina Economic Index
The 2009 North Carolina Economic Index is a tool created to assist the state's economic development leaders with capitalizing on North Carolina's economic strengths and addressing its weaknesses. The Index provides a snapshot of how the state is performing, based on 16 economic indicators and 47 specific measures. Based on the most current data available at the time of publication, the indicators track North Carolina's performance over time to provide an objective, long-term evaluation of the state's economy. North Carolina is compared to six states (GA, MA, MI, PA, SC and VA) and the United States as a whole. Comparison states were selected based on the following characteristics : Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia represent Southeastern competitor states ; Michigan and Pennsylvania are comparable manufacturing states; and Massachusetts is a leading technology state. The Index also includes a special analysis section on the impact of the recession on North Carolina workers, businesses, industries and families.

A Geography of the Carolinas
Vibrant high-tech centers, shifting barrier islands, okra festivals, Yankee and Latino immigrants, Blue Ridge vistas, world-class universities and empty textile mills-this is the Carolinas. A region of striking natural beauty, rich history, and a rapidly changing economic base, the Carolinas are "Old South" and "New South," intimately local and inextricably global. In A Geography of the Carolinas, eleven noted geographers explore the region's historical, cultural and physical landscapes. Bringing the perspective of the science of geography and a wealth of experience and knowledge, the contributors reveal the patterns, processes, and connections at work in these two great states. Each chapter is an exploration of this diverse terrain of places and peoples, and a fascinating journey for those who wish to understand the past, present, and future of the Carolinas. Book jacket.
