How is the job market in Raleigh?

Hi all! I'm a DC nestie who used to live in NC and I would really love to move back.  DC is fun but way to freakin expensive and crowded for me to want to stay here permanently. Plus DH has been on the job hunt here for a long time so I'm asking him to consider job-hunting in NC since things aren't working out here and it's also such a HCOL area.

I know the job market isn't great anywhere right now, but generally speaking do you think it's possible to land something in Raleigh right now?  Any industries much stronger than others?  DH has a business degree, lots of experience in admin, also catering and hospitality, and his fluent in both Spanish and English.  As for me I would probably be looking for fundraising jobs at a university or non-profit

I'm most interest in Raleigh but would consider Charlotte as well. Advice please :)

  • Anyone?

     Did I accidentally violate some posting etiquette (like not introducing myself properly?)  or are people just not responding because they don't know the answer?  :)

  • No, this board is just dead. :)

    I think it depends on what field you're in. I've been looking for over a year now for something new, but haven't had any luck. I'm being picky though. 

    Check out AFP Triangle. They'll post some fundraising jobs. That's what I'm in now, but looking for a different direction. 

  • Also Google "NC STATE JOBS" and you'll find the link to the state agency jobs.  You can search by industry, type, etc.  Also, try the local universities websites for more job information.  Good luck!
  • State jobs really aren't the place to be right now. 4 years w/ no cost of living adjustments or raises (actually, they took .5% away one year). They've cut many jobs over the last year, with more to come. People who have been let go have higher priority for hiring over those who are applying from outside. The University systems might be better, but I wouldn't waste my time looking within state agencies.
