Pillars of a Secure Future for North Carolina

To be a winner in the global jobs war, North Carolina must strive for excellence in four key areas:

• Education/Talent Supply

• Competitive Business Climate

• Entrepreneurship and Innovation

• Infrastructure and Growth Leadership

These Pillars of a Secure Future are nonpartisan and apolitical, and are at the core of the NC Chamber’s North Carolina Vision 2030.

Bolstering the four pillars is essential to creating jobs. Within each pillar are several key drivers for robust economic growth. The pillars should be considered together to achieve a strategic regional, national and global competitive advantage for North Carolina in the war for good jobs.
