Unemployed and unqualified: Education cuts may leave NC workers without jobs - ALEX BARINKA, Reese News

Thousands of North Carolina jobs requiring postsecondary education may be unfilled by 2018 as a $414 million cut in state funding to the University of North Carolina system has begun to affect classrooms. More than 830,000 North Carolina jobs requiring education after high school will be empty as the state faces a shortage of qualified workers, according to a report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.
