This is probably good news to job seekers who have been looking for jobs for years. Charlotte saw some promising signs in the year 2013 by outperforming the nation and the state in terms of job growth. Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill alone had a remarkable 28, 400 new jobs in the year 2013. This was a 3.3 percent increase, making it one of the biggest in the state.

As Charlotte enters the year 2014, information technology (IT), retail sales, and nursing among others are some of the best job sectors. This is according to a repost released recently by the Department of Commerce. This job growth has been attributed to the growth in the economy. Some of the well renowned digital firms are on a hiring spree. As a matter of fact, Wells Fargo, Healthcare Systems, Bank of America, and Carolinas Healthcare are some of the biggest traditional employers. They did massive hiring in 2013. According to financial experts, this reflected an economy that did not rely largely on the banking sector like it did during the recession period.

If you were hoping of landing your dream job in 2014, then appliance maker Electrolux is where you should be heading to next. Last year, Electrolux promised that it was going to add well over 800 new jobs on its North American headquarters offices located in the University Research Park come 2014. According to other data released by the Department of Commerce, 5 out of 10 hottest jobs were all computer based. The economy was in great need of web developers, network and computer systems administrators, IT project managers, and systems analyst. According to a staffing company Randstad Technologies, employers in Charlotte are looking for people who are highly skilled in Microsoft and Java.

The economy, having showed a major sign of growth, has also made long distance truck drivers the most sought after people right now. From the Commerce Department Data, three months before December last year, there were over 1,700 job positions for truck drivers alone. As we get into another new year, the demand for truck drivers is also expected to go even higher. This is because stability in the economy will bring about the need for more exporting and importing goods. Another sector that witnessed a major growth last year was the housing market. The demand for construction workers might also go up.
