I don't think the job market in this area has recovered from the big  
hit when the market crashed and telcoms imploded. By all accounts the  
number of workers in the tech. industry in the US is shrinking.  NC's  
rating for unemployment, if a 1 ranking is best, and 50th, is worst, is  
rated 34th in the nation in June. I couldn't find the  rankings for  
just the tech. industry in NC, and the BLS doesn't break out "web  
developer", but the number of people employed as "computer programmers"  
in 2000 in the US was 530,730, which had shrunk to 431,640 in 2003.
