The unemployment rate in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area remains at 8 percent in August, according to records released by the NC Employment Security Commission on Friday.
The state's overall unemployment rate is 9.8%. The good news is that the number of jobless has declined in 82 of NC's 100 counties.

This means that there are still many people who are without a job. One of the ways that you can help out is by supporting IFC's food pantry. Food contributions appear to be down and we need help collecting essential food items that households now depend on. The list of usual items that are needed can be found at
