As of July 2013 North Carolina was 3rd highest in the nation in Unemployment. It was 48th in jobs.

Graham County has the highest rate of 15.9% (click here)

Graham County is a small rural area that would benefit from the growth of tourism. If they had investment opportunities the county could make things better for their citizens.

But, what Tourism in the USA would benefit most from is DISPOSABLE income. Graham County can build it, but, if there is no one to come, what difference does it make?

INCREASE THE MINIMUM WAGE NOW!

I mean for real now. Anyone for small business capital investment? Oh, silly me, the banks aren't lending. Swallowed by a whale, I hear.

 

Santeetlah Lake on US 129 at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains outside of Robbinsville, NC.  

Located in the heart of Graham County, this gem appeals to boaters, swimmers, fishermen, kayakers, canoers, campers, hikers, locals, and sightseers alike.  The tranquil waters calm the soul and gently lap your worries away.

This 2800 acre lake offers a multitude of water sports and 76 miles of shoreline. While the waters might feel a bit crisp to some (about 70 degrees Fahrenheit during my last August dip), for us this just adds to the fresh appeal.

Surrounded by National Forest, over 80% of the Lake Santeetlah shoreline is free from private development.  It is easy to find a secluded cove.
