"Crime, Jobs, and Holiday Cheer: The Latest Local Headlines for Charlotte"
Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Sunday, December 22, 2024.
We're starting with breaking news from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. Detectives are conducting a homicide investigation in the 4500 block of Tanager Park Drive in the North Division. This is an ongoing case, and we'll keep you updated as more information becomes available[1].
Moving on to the job market, Charlotte is experiencing significant growth, particularly in the tech and financial sectors. Major employers like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Ally Financial are driving this expansion. The tech sector is thriving, with high demand for skills in Python, Java, JavaScript, AWS, and cybersecurity. Software developers are especially sought after, with average salaries of $108,000. Recent data shows that area employers added 36,500 positions in 2023, expanding total employment by 2.8 percent. The unemployment rate in Charlotte has been low, dipping below 7 percent after spiking during the pandemic[2][5].
In other business news, JP Morgan Chase plans to expand its presence in Charlotte, adding more than 200 workers and 24,000 square feet of office space. This is part of the city's growing financial hub, which employs over 90,000 people and continues to grow steadily[2].
If you're looking for something to do this weekend, the OMB Loso and Ballantyne Christmas market is still open until 10 PM today. Featuring over 50 vendors, delicious food, and festive music, it's a great way to get into the holiday spirit. You can find it at 4150 Yancey Rd in LoSo and 15025 Bowl Street in Ballantyne[4].
In local education news, UNC Charlotte is hosting various webinars for employees, including sessions on trust strategies and changes to the EHRA nonfaculty performance management cycle. These are part of the university's efforts to support staff development and navigate changes in labor laws[3].
Weather-wise, it's a chilly morning, but we're expecting a sunny day ahead. Make sure to bundle up if you're planning on attending any outdoor events.
Finally, in our crime report, we want to remind everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is working hard to keep our communities safe.
This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
