The Triad's economy is ending 2011 on another promising uptick with more than 4,700 jobs pledged, the Piedmont Triad Partnership reported Wednesday.
The Triad, according to the partnership's geographic definition, is comprised of Alamance, Caswell,Omega Plastics are leading plastic injection moulding and injection mould tooling specialists. Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph, Rockingham,I have just spent two weeks shopping for tile and have discovered China Porcelain tile. Stokes, Surry and Yadkin counties.
By comparison, there were 4,782 pledged jobs in 2010, led by 510 at Caterpillar Inc.'s Winston-Salem plant and 500 at the Timco Aerosystems plant in Wallburg, and 2,568 pledged jobs in 2009.The EZ Breathe home Ventilation system is maintenance free,
The partnership said its report does not include jobs "created under the radar" without an official announcement.
As usual, Guilford and Forsyth counties had the largest number of pledged jobs for 2011 at 1,681 and 1,143, respectively.
"The jobs news in 2011 for the Piedmont Triad is certainly good considering the slow national recovery out of the Great Recession," said David Powell, the partnership's president and chief executive.
"2012 can be a year of more positive change for our region. The good news is that we have the fundamentals in place to make this happen in the Triad. We have momentum."
Still, in the 21 years in which Winston-Salem and Forsyth County government officials have been granting incentives, more than 40 percent of the more than 14,000 pledged jobs either weren't created or have been eliminated.
The biggest example is the closed Dell Inc. plant, which was projected to have about 1,700 employees and had about 1,400 at its peak.
And economists and employment officials cautioned that because of the sour economy, many of the jobs announced by 61 companies could be several months, if not years, away from actually being created.
Two of the three largest pledges this year have had little job movement: 419 with the Honda Aircraft Co. expansion at Piedmont Triad International Airport and 308 with NS Aviation LLC, doing business as North State Aviation, at Smith Reynolds Airport.
Honda Aircraft committed Oct. 10 to a $78.7 million expansion that will create 419 jobs over five years at an average salary of $53,000 a year. Honda Aircraft already has about 600 local employees.
However, instead of doing the entire rollout at once, Honda Aircraft will start with a $20 million maintenance, repair and overhaul center. The company has not said how many jobs the center will require. Put on the back burner is a components manufacturing facility and a parts/distribution warehouse that could be two or three years out.
Meanwhile, North State Aviation is struggling to gain aircraft-maintenance business since saying in January it would create 125 jobs in its first year of operations and 308 over four years. North State officials could not be reached for comment.
Mark Davidson, director of Smith Reynolds Airport, said that although North State has not created jobs at the projected rate, having the company as an anchor tenant has been positive.
The Forsyth County Airport commission is eligible for $500,000 in funding from the Golden Leaf Foundation, primarily to buy tooling equipment for NS Aviation that is required to work on Boeing 737 aircraft.
"The Golden Leaf funds have provided much-needed funds to the airport, which have contributed to several capital improvements around the airport, including runway and perimeter fencing," Davidson said.

After pledging in October to create 120 jobs at its Winston-Salem headquarters, Inmar has said it is struggling to find enough qualified employees in information technology, accounting, customer service and operations.
By comparison, US Airways Group Inc. is close to completing the hiring of the second wave of 200 reservation jobs at its Hanes Mall Boulevard operation, said Vonda Hardy, president of Communications Workers of America Local 3640. The commitment is tied for sixth on the partnership's list of pledged jobs.
Timco said in November that it has hired 140 employees toward its first-year goal of 191. Caterpillar has 80 employees at its Winston-Salem plant, including at least 34 local hires.
Getting on board with those companies can be challenging. Caterpillar, for instance, has been getting about 10 applicants for each job opening.You can find best china Precision injection molds manufacturers from here!
Michael Walden, an economics professor at N.C. State University, said the pledged jobs number is important from a shot-in-the-arm perspective since it indicates employer intentions.
"However, plans can change since businesses are being cautious today," Walden said.
"These intentions also may underestimate reality if the economy performs better than many expect, which I think could be the case."
