Katharine Neal spokeswoman for the N.C. department of Commerce said the department has been getting more calls from companies interested in new economic development projects that had been delayed because of the down economy.
These jobs come on the heels of Deutsche Bank's announcement that it would be creating 300 jobs in Cary. Highly skilled technology jobs paying average salaries of approx $88,000.

Awe shucks! I was hoping it was the triangle in Ashburn Va or in Crofton MD.
Good luck selling some of those relocating home owners, my favorite, homes in your area.
David, that should open the housing market. These people will all need a place to live. Good luck!
Good Luck with the transferees. Any announcement of jobs being created is good news, however it would be better news if it were the creation of new jobs, not the moving of jobs.
Congratulations is in order. Good luck to you.
Lenn : Sorry wrong triangle
Michael : hope so! Thanks
Ed : We'll take it though I believe these are new jobs!
Jason: we'll see thanks.
Hi David! That is WONDERFUL news for your area! I always love to see business expansion announcements in our area too but, I'll take ANYWHERE in NC to keep our state atop the list of growing economies!
Have a wonderful Sunday...
