3 CNBC ranked North Carolina as the fifth best state for business in its annual Countdown to America s Top State for Business feature. This is the state s highest ranking since Tourism spending in North Carolina reached a new record of $20 billion in 2013, up four percent from the previous year. The nearly 53 million visitors to the state supported 198,270 jobs and $4.6 billion in payroll income. Tourism is a key element of our economic development strategy, said Sharon Decker, Secretary, N.C. Department of Commerce. Sealed Air Corporation, the Bubble Wrap manufacturer, announced it is relocating its global headquarters from New Jersey to Charlotte, creating 1,262 jobs by the end of 2017 and investing $58 million for a new state-of the-art facility. The average annual wage will be $119,482. In April, Governor Pat McCrory and state officials announced the launch of a major workforce development program NCWorks. According to McCrory, NCWorks will promote a consistent, cohesive strategy that focuses on one goal connecting N.C. workers with N.C. jobs. The Southeast and Beyond Time to cut social studies and sign up for shop class! Josh Mandel, State of Ohio treasurer, visited Pioneer Pipe in Ohio and learned the company paid 60 of its welders more than $150,000. Pioneer Pipe s owner, Dave Archer, said he has had to turn down orders because he can t find enough welders. According to Mandel in The Wall Street Journal, shop class has been vanishing from high school curriculums since the 1970 s, when it became conventional wisdom that a four-year college degree was essential. Yet a 2012 Bureau of Labor Statistics study shows that 48% of all college graduates are working in jobs that don t require a four-year degree - and according to a 2011 Skills Gap Survey by the Manufacturing Institute, about 600,000 manufacturing jobs are unfilled nationally because employers can t find qualified workers. Toyota announced a sweeping cost-cutting reorganization and the relocation of its North American operations from California to Plano, Texas. California will lose as many as 3,000 jobs, while Texas will gain 4,000 jobs. Texas offered Toyota $40 million from its Enterprise Fund incentive program for the move, according to The Wall Street Journal. Energy News South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, a subsidiary of SCANA Corporation, received the 2014 President s Award from the SERC Reliability Corporation, one of eight regions in the U.S. responsible for monitoring the reliability of the power system. The award is given annually in recognition of electric reliability excellence. South Carolina signed into law S.B.1189, the Distributed Energy Resources Act, a renewable energy policy that will open the door for increased solar
4 installation across the state. Distributed energy describes electricity generated from many small energy sources - including rooftop solar panels and wind turbines. The bill was the result of a successful collaboration by lawmakers, regulators, environmental advocates, consumer groups, utilities, businesses and non-profits [ On June 2, the Environmental Protection Agency unveiled its Clean Power Plan, a plan to impose drastic, 30% cuts in carbon emissions that would have a dramatic impact on the American economy but only a minimal effect on global carbon emissions according to Edwin D. Hill, president of the 750,000 member International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, in the Wall Street Journal. Hill says that when gauged by accepted industry metrics, the plan would result in the loss of some 52,000 permanent direct jobs in utilities, mining and rail; 100,000 jobs in related industries; and the loss of up to 49 gigawatts of coal generated electricity. The 49 gigawatts lost will be in addition to another 60 gigawatts lost because of EPA s 2012 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards rule. Hill states, The U.S. cannot lose more than 100 gigawatts of power in five years without severely compromising the reliability and safety of the electrical grid. That would pose a danger for the entire economy and all Americans. The comment period on the EPA plan remains open until October 14, Coal retirements posing reliability problems. American Electric Power, one of the country s biggest utilities, reported that it used 89 percent of the coal-fired power it is retiring in 2015 to meet electricity demand last January. Another utility, PJM, was running literally on the edge of its power reserve margin several times last winter and New England is also in crises mode, said Commissioner Phillip Moeller of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [ U.S. Congressman Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.) says that inexpensive energy has been a key factor in industrial recruitment in his state and that federal carbon policies are motivated by a desire to erase Southeast s competitive advantage [blog.al.com]. Continuing a federal ban on drilling off the Atlantic seaboard would cost up to 280,000 jobs and $23.5 million a year in economic activity and would deny citizens and businesses in Atlantic Coast states and beyond from a major opportunity to realize significant economic and societal benefits for many years to come, warns Chris Clark, Georgia Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, in a response to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management [in wwww.bizjournals.com/atlanta/blog]. Sound Bites & Factoids On the EPA s Clean Power Plan:... the timing of this effort could hardly be worse for the struggling U.S. economy... [We] believe that consumers will see higher rates. Businesses, large and small, and manufacturers will have to pay much more for their electricity; these increased prices will be absorbed
5 or passed on and will further hurt the economy. Senators John Barrasso [R- Wyoming] and Heidi Heitkamp [D-North Dakota][Wall Street Journal]. Best to you, Sharon K.
