While there was a net loss of 4,700 employees — federal and local school employees declined by about 7,300 and 2,100 respectively – the state actually added about 4,700 school employees — including about 2,100 teachers.

actually clark randwrong is right- the aid from the feds to the state saved us from massive layoffs yes we had layoffs but not the huge ones predicted… Obama saved NC educators jobs the GA in NC however seems bent on keeping unemployment above 10% so expect to see more layoffs before the clowns are voted out next election
