RALEIGH -- PNC Financial Services released its new Regional Economic Report for the Raleigh Market, which includes Durham, Goldsboro and Rocky Mount.

PNC economist Mekael Teshome  says payroll job growth in the Raleigh market area is set to top the nation’s growth again in 2014 and 2015, particularly in high wage jobs.

"It is a very educated population which then attracts high value added industries and these jobs pay much better. So unlike a lot of parts of the country we're not really generating low-income jobs. We have a lot of job growth in high wage, high added-value industries."

The report indicates that Raleigh and Durham metros will be among national leaders in education, healthcare, tech and professional services drive above-average payroll growth.
