Publication type: Newspaper article
In June 2001, Robeson County's unemployment rate
was 12.3%--lower only than Yancey County's 15% and more than twice the
state average of 5.1%. Additional plant closings contributed to the high
rate. In the previous two months, the closing of Converse, Alamac Knit
Fabrics, and others left over 2,000 workers without jobs.
