American Express announced this week it will close its Piedmont Centre travel office in North High Point, laying off 103 employees. Many of them were handed pink slips on the spot. Tragic.
We are no longer a manufacturing-based, textile-based, tobacco-based economy...we are a service-sector-based economy now. And now that we're losing our service-sector jobs, are we relevant? Is our area losing its relevance? And if so, how do we get it back?
