After testing the waters overseas, Thomasville Furniture, has decided to grow domestically instead. As the cost of doing business in Asia rises, in respects to shipping, fuel, and labor, the North Carolina based furniture manufacturer is adding 100 jobs in Lenoir, North Carolina. In an area that has lost over 6,000 manufacturing jobs since 2001, Caldwell County welcomes the influx of opportunity. Looking to increase production by one-third, Thomasville will by have 800 working, 70 miles northwest of Charlotte, in Lenoir, by December of this year. Given the amount of people put out of work by factories closing up and moving out of town, Thomasville will be a sight for sore eyes. http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com Author: employmentcrossing Keywords: "Thomasville Moves Back To North Carolina" Adds Domestic Jobs" Back" "Thomasville" Furniture" "cost of doing business in Asia rises" "shipping fuel and labor" "furniture manufacturer" "adding 100 jobs" "Lenoir "lost over 000 manufacturing jobs since 2001" "Caldwell County" "increase production by one-third" "70 miles northwest Charlotte" "800 working December this year" Added: July 23, 2008
