Economy

ECONOMY From grocery costs to gas prices, energy bills to rent and mortgage payments, it’s getting harder for North Carolina families to make ends meet. One of the General Assembly’s top priorities should be lowering the cost of living, and there are real, practical ways to do it: reducing the tax burden on working families, investing in affordable childcare, holding energy companies and large corporations accountable when they exploit consumers, and expanding access to affordable housing. Our elected officials should focus on putting more money in your pocket—not in the hands of the corporations and special interest groups that fund their campaigns. At the same time, we must invest in strengthening our economy and workforce for decades to come. Supporting small businesses, promoting working conditions and employees’ rights, expanding workforce development programs, and creating more apprenticeship opportunities through our community colleges will help connect people with well-paying jobs while ensuring employers have access to the skilled workforce they need.
